Tower ( (TSEM) ) has issued an update.

Tower Semiconductor announced on May 13, 2026, that it has signed Silicon Photonics contracts with major customers securing $1.3 billion in revenue for 2027, backed by $290 million in received capacity-reservation prepayments and broader demand from over 50 active SiPho customers. The commitments, alongside substantially higher contractual wafer reservations already in place for 2028 and an ongoing multi-fab capacity ramp, strengthen Tower’s position at the center of the fast-growing optical connectivity and AI infrastructure markets, underpinned by advanced SiPho technologies and next-generation optical and 3DIC integration capabilities.

The company highlighted that these multi-year agreements validate its differentiated, multi-generational silicon photonics roadmap spanning pluggable optical transceivers, Near-Packaged Optics and Co-Packaged Optics, and support its financial model targeting significantly higher revenue and profitability in 2028. Tower’s deep collaboration with leading customers on advanced modulators, lasers, optical circuit switches and hybrid bonding technologies positions it to capture the surge in AI-driven data center bandwidth and power-efficiency demand while providing long-term visibility for stakeholders across its global manufacturing footprint.

Spark’s Take on TSEM Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSEM is a Outperform.

The score is driven by a strong financial foundation and upbeat earnings-call outlook (funded SiPho/SiGe expansion with substantial capacity reservations), reinforced by strong technical uptrend signals. These positives are tempered by expensive valuation (high P/E), overbought technical readings, and the near-term concern of negative 2025 free cash flow alongside execution and contract-related risks.
