Strategic direction and market positioning

  • Maintains focus on semiconductors and electronics & packaging (E&P), now addressing 85% of semiconductor fab equipment and 70% of packaging steps globally.

  • Broad portfolio enables close customer collaboration, early insight into industry inflections, and confident strategic investments.

  • Expanded beyond critical subsystems to include lithography, metrology, inspection equipment, full systems, and chemistry, broadening supplier status.

  • Acquisition of Atotech and advanced packaging capabilities support growth and market share gains.

  • Positioned to serve both semi and E&P markets with a comprehensive solution set, aiming to gain share through portfolio breadth.

Semiconductor market outlook and capacity

  • Industry expects a multi-year upcycle, driven by AI-related demand, with customers preparing for sustained growth through 2026 and beyond.

  • Current manufacturing capacity can support $125B WFE plus a 30% surge, with a new Malaysia plant adding further scalability and efficiency.

  • Outperformance of WFE expected during the ramp, leveraging historical growth above market rates and expanded product categories.

  • Supply chain improvements, including multiple suppliers and inventory strategies, enhance readiness for demand surges.

  • Direct, ongoing engagement with top customers ensures alignment with their ramp and inventory needs.

Electronics & packaging (E&P) segment trends

  • E&P tools business consists of flexible laser drilling and chemistry equipment, with the latter at record levels and strong attach rates.

  • Chemistry equipment run rate at $200M/year, with AI and China+1 customers driving demand; attach rate for chemistry revenue is 20–40% of equipment value.

  • Chemistry revenue mix: one-third each from multi-layer boards, HDI, and substrate boards; AI-related chemistry revenue doubled from 2024 to 2025 and is expected to keep rising.

  • Consumer electronics cycles impact quarterly chemistry revenue, but AI tailwinds are expected to offset any headwinds.

  • E&P is becoming as strategically important as semi, with laser drilling and packaging complexity enabling AI advancements.

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.
