Company overview and strategy

  • Built a leading position in semiconductor and electronics by expanding from vacuum measurement to a broad portfolio of subsystems and systems, including through key acquisitions like Newport, Electro Scientific Industries, and Atotech.

  • Now addresses 85% of semiconductor equipment needs globally, with a focus on being foundational to advanced electronics and packaging, not just semiconductors.

  • Strategy is to be a long-term infrastructure builder, supporting trends like AI, advanced packaging, and Moore's Law extensions.

Electronics and packaging (E&P) segment

  • E&P saw about 20% growth for the year, driven by strong demand for chemistry and equipment, especially for AI-related PCB manufacturing.

  • Chemistry makes up two-thirds of the segment, growing steadily at ~10% annually, while equipment (one-third) is more volatile but has seen strong bookings.

  • Market share leadership in flexible PCB laser drilling tools, with ongoing capacity expansion to support growth.

  • Equipment sales drive long-term chemistry sales, with high attach rates and gross margins above 55% for chemistry.

Semiconductor segment and market outlook

  • Semiconductor business grew ~10% in the year, aided by inventory normalization and upgrades, especially in NAND.

  • Outlook for 2026 is robust, with industry forecasts of 5–15% WFE growth, driven by logic, DRAM, and HBM, with NAND as a potential upside.

  • Lead times have normalized to 4–8 weeks, and customer sentiment has become more positive over the last quarter.

  • Broad portfolio enables outperformance versus WFE, with unique positions in RF power, optics, and ALD ozone generators.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
