IPG Photonics (IPGP) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
IPG Photonics Corp reported an 18% year-over-year increase in revenues, reflecting strong performance in the additive manufacturing and advanced applications sectors. The company achieved a gross margin of 38.6%, exceeding guidance and showing a significant sequential improvement, indicative of operational efficiency and cost control. Additionally, the emerging growth products segment, which includes applications such as battery welding and medical technologies, constituted 48% of total sales in the latest quarter, highlighting the firm’s strategic pivot towards under-penetrated markets that could drive long-term growth.
Bears say
IPG Photonics Corporation reported a significant decline in revenues for Q4, with a 22% year-over-year drop, indicating continued weakness in demand from its key industrial and e-mobility markets. The company's full-year revenue also suffered a substantial 24% decline compared to the previous year, compounded by a notably low adjusted earnings per share which missed consensus estimates and reflected deteriorating profitability with an adjusted gross margin down 750 basis points. The outlook for Q1 2025 remains cautious, as management highlighted an ongoing subdued demand environment, suggesting a challenging operating climate that may hinder revenue recovery in the near term.
