Axcelis Technologies (ACLS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Axcelis Technologies Inc. demonstrated a notable increase in revenue contributions from different sectors, with General Mature accounting for 34% of total system revenue in 4Q24, driven by investments in China, reflecting strong demand in that region. Additionally, significant growth in image sensor contributions, which rose to 19% in 3Q24 from 5% in 2Q24, along with a doubling of memory contributions to 7% in 4Q24, suggests a positive market trend towards memory strength and expanding customer demand. Furthermore, Axcelis's management anticipates continued growth in wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) and a rebound in key segments, forecasting that 2H25 will yield slightly higher revenue than 1H25, reinforcing a positive outlook for the company's financial performance.
Bears say
Axcelis Technologies experienced a mixed financial performance in 4Q24, reporting revenue of $252.4 million, which, while surpassing consensus estimates, was lower sequentially compared to 3Q24. The company's outlook for 1Q25 is cautious, indicating potential revenue declines due to ongoing weaknesses in the silicon carbide (SiC) sector, the maturation of node designs in China, and a seasonal decline in customer service and installation revenue. Notably, significant drops in revenue contributions from key segments such as image sensors and general mature nodes reflect a broader industry downturn, particularly in Asia Pacific, further contributing to a negative outlook for the company's financial trajectory.
