我已建立 $VPG(市值5.73亿美元)的头寸。 这是我未来在机器人领域的主要敞口,与 $TSLA Optimus 紧密挂钩。 市场完全忽视了这一机器人板块的投资机会: 对于每一台部署的特斯拉 Optimus,$VPG 很可能占据极高的物料清单(BOM)份额。 VPG 可能是特斯拉 Optimus 量产爬坡的主要供应商,这已是公开的秘密。 这一发现最早由 Citron Research 提出(我不居功)。 2025年4月,Citron Research 发布报告,称 VPG 为“隐藏的特斯拉 Optimus 概念股”。 他们指出,VPG 在2023年11月宣布与一家人形机器人开发商达成“重大设计胜利”,就在特斯拉于2023年12月发布 Optimus Gen 2 之前。 Citron:“证据确凿:VPG 不仅向特斯拉 Optimus 供货,还预计从此次扩产中获得巨额收入,但由于保密协议,这部分收入目前对市场不可见。” 我在2025/2026年后期与多家卖方/买方分析师交叉验证了关于 VPG 的信息: 许多来自 Signia Capital 的人士提到 $VPG:“最显著的应用将是特斯拉的 Optimus 机器人,该机器人于2022年原型化,目标在2026年投产”。 然而,由于2023-2025年原型机阶段 Optimus 及其他机器人的量产爬坡并不存在,这一点被完全遗忘了。 然而,鉴于彭博社报道 OpenAI 上周推动机器人领域发展: 我预计机器人行业今年将触及拐点。 该公司基本面已经非常扎实: - 营收7970万美元(同比增长5.3%,但预计因机器人行业而指数级增长) - 毛利率40.5% - 净现金约6500万美元(现金8600万,债务2000万) $VPG 在块状金属箔(Bulk Metal Foil)材料科学/专利方面拥有护城河,引入了 Z-Foil 技术,并实现了垂直整合。虽然我不能说完全理解所有细节,但这正是 $TSLA 与 Vishay 合作进行 Optimus 迭代原型开发和规模化的原因。 关于 BOM: 有一些 BOM 估算如下: 腿部/运动系统:约21,300美元(占成本38%):集中在高扭矩执行器。 核心稳定性:约15,600美元(28%):结构性躯干和肩部机构。 灵巧手:约9,500美元(17%):执行器和 VPG 式传感器。 计算/AI:约2,100美元(4%):双 FSD 芯片和8摄像头阵列。 但总体而言,我们可以估算每台机器人的价值中约有3-8%归 $VPG 所有,因为 Shoshani 明确表示 VPG 预计每台机器人在ERs中能获得500至1,200美元的收入。 Elon 喜欢吹嘘大数字,但如果按字面意思理解“德州超级工厂年产1000万台的目标” 1000万台机器人/年 × 750美元/台 = VPG 年营收75亿美元。 考虑到 $VPG 是一家目前处于机器人供应链深处的5.74亿美元小市值公司,鉴于其不对称的上行空间,我建立了多头头寸: - 与 $TSLA Optimus 供应链的高度相关性概率高 - 每台部署机器人的 BOM 占比高 - 资产负债表非常干净,这很罕见。 请自行研究,这只是我建立多头的个人思考过程。

英文原文

I've initiated positions in $VPG ($573m). This is my actual/main robotics sector exposure going forward, tethered to $TSLA Optimus. Markets have completely overlooked this robotics sector play: For every Tesla Optimus deployed, $VPG likely takes an exceptionally high BOM for each. It's a pretty open secret by now that VPG is likely a main supplier for Tesla Optimus Ramp. This was first discovered by Citron Research (not taking credit for this). In April 2025, Citron Research published a report calling VPG the "Hidden Tesla Optimus Play." They pointed out that VPG announced a "major design win" with a humanoid developer in November 2023, right before Tesla revealed the Optimus Gen 2 in December 2023. Citron: "The evidence is conclusive: VPG is not only supplying Tesla Optimus but expects substantial revenues from this ramp-up, revenue currently invisible to the market due to confidentiality" I've cross-checked with recent Sellside/Buyside analysts much later in 2025/2026 regarding VPG: Many from Signia Capital mention for $VPG: "The most notable application would be Tesla’s Optimus robot, which was prototyped in 2022 and is targeting production in 2026". However, this was completely forgotten given robotics ramp from Optimus and others were nonexistent through 2023-2025 for the prototyping phase. However, given OpenAI's push to robotics last week per Bloomberg: I expect robotics to hit the inflection point this year. This company is extremely solid fundamentally already: - $79.7 Million Revenue (up 5.3% Y/Y but this should ramp up exponentially due to robotics sector) - 40.5% Gross Margins - ~$65 Million Net Cash ($86m Cash, $20m Debt) $VPG has a material science/patent moat for Bulk Metal Foil, introduced Z-Foil technology, and is vertically integrated. Can't say I understand it all, but it's the reason why $TSLA has been prototyping and scaling their Optimus iterations with Vishay. As for BOM: There are BOM estimates like: Legs/Locomotion: ~$21,300 (38% of cost): concentrated in high-torque actuators. Core Stability: ~$15,600 (28%): structural torso and shoulder mechanisms. Dexterous Hands: ~$9,500 (17%): Actuators and VPG-style sensors. Compute/AI: ~$2,100 (4%): Dual FSD chips and 8-camera array. But generally, we can estimate 3-8% of each robots value is est. $VPG since Shoshani explicitly stated that VPG expects to capture between $500 and $1,200 in revenue per robot in ERs. Elon likes to claim big numbers, but if you take it at face value "10-million-unit annual target at Giga Texas" 10M robots/year × $750/robot = $7.5 Billion in annual revenue for VPG. Considering $VPG is a small $574M company deep in the robotics supply chain right now, I entered long positions given the asymmetrical upside - of high probability correlation to $TSLA Optimus supply chains - high BOM of each robot deployed. - very clean balance sheet, which is rare. Please do your own research, this is my own personal thought process of why I entered this long.
