Factors to Watch
ACM Research’s fourth-quarter results are likely to have benefited from strong momentum across the semiconductor end market, driven by its strong market position, differentiated technology and multi-product portfolio.
Growing demand for single-wafer cleaning tools and mature nodes in China are expected to have been growth drivers for the company during the quarter under review.
The company’s increasing investments in power devices and other trading edge devices for the EV market are likely to have boosted its revenues during the to-be-reported quarter.
Strengthening Electrochemical Plating (ECP), Furnace and other technologies segment on the back of robust product offerings is likely to have acted as a tailwind for the company in the fourth quarter.
Its growing focus on packaging tools like coder, developer, squabber, PR stripper and web and service spare parts is expected to have bolstered the Advanced Packaging segment’s performance during the quarter under review.
Strong momentum across evaluation tools, including its Track and Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) platforms, is likely to have driven top-line growth of the company.
However, the negative impacts of U.S.-China trade policies are expected to have been a major concern.
Further, changes in the spending patterns of key customers, delays in shipments, and supply-chain constraints are likely to have hurt top-line growth during the fourth quarter.
