Axcelis Technologies Inc (ACLS) Cotización

Adjusting to 175, with possibly a little overshoot. A quick 8% profit turn from last week, if you are trading, but this looks like a long-term hold stock. Just my opinion.

Consolidating for a little bump to 180.

ACLS new 52 week high

Information Technology : Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment | Small Cap GrowthCompany profile
Axcelis Technologies, Inc. designs, manufactures and services ion implantation and other processing equipment used in the fabrication of semiconductor chips. The Company offers a complete line of high energy, high current and medium current implanters for all application requirements. In addition to equipment, the Company provides extensive aftermarket lifecycle products and services, including used tools, spare parts, equipment upgrades, maintenance services and customer training. Its Purion flagship systems are all based on a common platform, which enables a combination of implant purity, precision and productivity. Combining a single wafer end station, with advanced spot beam architectures (that ensures all points across the wafer see the same beam condition at the same beam angle), Purion products enable process control to optimize device performance and yield, at high productivity. The Company sells its products to semiconductor chip manufacturers around the world.

The next semiconductor growth stock investors should buy now and hold is Axcelis Technologies ( ACLS 7.66% ). In a similar fashion to Cohu, Axcelis provides crucial equipment to semiconductor producers. Its ion implanters are essential to the fabrication process for chipmakers, and investors are taking notice of the company's value to the industry.

Since hitting its pandemic-low price in March 2020, Axcelis stock has soared by over 350%, making it one of the best performers in the entire sector. It has backed this up with a solid operational performance, nearly doubling its earnings per share to $2.88 in 2021, thanks to soaring demand for equipment in its Purion Power Series line.

That line of ion implantation equipment is used to fabricate chips for a wide range of segments including automotive, mobile, and even artificial intelligence. The company has released a series of announcements since September 2021 informing investors of large shipments of its Purion Power Series products to semiconductor producers across the globe.

Axcelis is so confident in its position that it just announced a share buyback program, with the goal to return $100 million to shareholders -- adding yet another reason to buy its stock.

5 Essential Upgrades for 200mm That You Should Consider Now


It has been a strong year for the 200mm implant market as growth in mobile applications and the Internet of Things drive demand for more capable and cost effective devices. Many fabs are at capacity, and in search of upgrades that bring added productivity and performance. The solutions below deliver customer inspired upgrades for long term value. Our goal is to increase implanter productivity, precision and capability with the aim of reduced cost of ownership. Below are 5 of the most successful upgrades that are proven to satisfy customer productivity and cost of ownership needs.

1. GSD High Performance End Station
Quickly Adds Capacity and Reduces CoO

Many of our customers who need to ramp capacity and are four-walled constrained have requested a solution that can increase capacity as well as improve their process. The GSD High Performance End Station (HPES) upgrade was developed specifically to address these needs. Customers using this upgrade in production report up to a 17% increase in wafers implanted per day, and up to a 53% reduction in defectivity. The HPES is a hardware and software integrated productivity upgrade. It combines advanced wafer handling hardware with low g-force mechanics, to improve the ratio between implant and non-implant time by eliminating up to 50% of in-vacuum wafer handling time. This upgrade is available on nearly all GSD models and is the fastest and most cost effective way to quickly add capacity.

The new in-vac wafer holder and cam-driven transfer arm assemblies enable up to a 50% improvement in disk load and unload time with measurably better defect performance. The cam-driven transfer arm allows for precise wafer placement, repeatable end station set up and virtually eliminates related wafer drops. The HPES reduces your cost of consumables, labor & energy on a per wafer basis. All together, the upgrade effectively increases your implant bay productivity with no additional clean room space required.

Customer data shows an average of 10.7% increase in productivity and up to a 53% reduction in defectivity.

News for 'ACLS' - (*DJ Axcelis Technologies Files $75 Million Mixed-Securities Shelf)

Under a mixed securities shelf registration, a company may sell securities in one or more separate offerings with the size, price and terms to be determined at the time of sale. They may sell common and preferred stock as well as debt securities

Charts for ACLS are looking highly positive for a continued push upwards. I like the wins the company is getting. And I look forward to seeing some positive earnings shortly. This is not going to spike, however, I can see it continuing an upward curve to $3 in upcoming weeks.

yasuh yasuh! Guess that latest load of 210s are ripening sooner than expected.
I suppose the chart meant to BUY those stone drops ... but having stones always beats having a LOLly pop. Sure is nice to get some income for selling product , instead of selling off more of the company ! So many good choices out there, just gotta avoid the FRAUDS.

rofl or pratfall on an oily floor.
just sold a bunch of 2.08-2.10 that hadn't even settled yet.
hope this falls like a stone again, these stones are diamonds

yeah I took a little taste before the very positive CC.
Of course I made a total pig of myself across that triple bottom.
Starting to see how this thing works eh?
Wonder how its going elsewhere ROTMFFLMAO.

Pickinup on how this works now ? very nice run peaks before call, call decently positive, recent TRIPLE run off sold a bit, insiders jump to market-buy up slack, trajectory resumes. All those $1.8x's are looking pretty timely indeed

ROFL.....this info marked the very top for ACLS and has been dropping like a stone since.

We expect to see improvement in market conditions in Q2 and are currently projecting Q2 revenues to be in the $45 million to $50 million range. We expect that the sequential increase will come primarily from system sales. Q2 gross margins are projected to be in the mid-30% range. Q2 operating expenses should be essentially unchanged from Q1, excluding an $800,000 milestone payment that we received from Lam in April. As a result of these factors, we expect to report a Q2 operating loss of approximately $3 million to $6 million and an earnings loss of approximately $0.03 to $0.05 per share. We are projecting that our cash balance will decline in Q2 and that we will end the quarter with a cash balance in the mid-$30 million range. This reduction will be driven primarily by our projected operating losses, restructuring payments associated with the previously announced actions and continued R&D investments in our Purion platform.
