Krish Sankar has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Kulicke & Soffa’s current and future performance. The company has shown improvement in its core business, particularly with utilization rates in the semiconductor wire bonder segment, which are expected to drive growth in the coming fiscal year. Additionally, the anticipated sales growth from advanced products like Fluxless Thermo-Compression and vertical wire technologies contribute positively to the outlook.
Despite these positives, there are concerns that temper the overall enthusiasm. The visibility of future orders remains limited, which introduces uncertainty into the company’s growth trajectory. Moreover, while there are promising opportunities in advanced dispense and vertical wire technologies, these are expected to take time to significantly impact the company’s performance. As such, while there are growth prospects, the potential risks and uncertainties lead to a cautious Hold recommendation.
