Vicor Licenses Vertical Power Delivery to AI OEM; Shares Up Pre-Bell

05:57 AM EDT, 09/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Vicor (VICR) granted a nonexclusive license to a new AI original equipment manufacturer licensee with the right to procure Vertical Power Delivery modules covered by company patents from unlicensed suppliers, the company said late Wednesday. The move can help licensees earn "substantial" discounts on licensing royalties for commodity VPD modules from unlicensed suppliers, Vicor said. The company's shares were up nearly 13% in premarket activity Thursday.
