Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized multiple strong financial and operational achievements — record revenue ($880.6M, +31% YoY), high margins, record EPS, robust cash generation ($1.6B+ liquidity and $218M free cash flow), broad-based product wins (GAA, advanced packaging, memory), and continued heavy investment in R&D and capacity. Challenges noted include shorter lead times and reduced visibility (notably in China), some customer/territory concentration, elevated operating spend as investments are ramped, and awaiting a clearer NAND recovery. Management provided constructive 2026 guidance and expects accelerating momentum, particularly in H2, suggesting confidence in continued growth despite near-term visibility constraints.Company Guidance
