Factors to Note

IPG Photonics’ third-quarter results are likely to reflect the ongoing supply chain constraints induced by the trade restrictions imposed by the United States on China and economic sanctions on Russia in general, which have impacted the company’s operations in the country.

Amid rising supply chain constraints, IPG Photonics is expected to have benefited from the increase of sales outside of China, which contributed 64% to total revenues in the last reported quarter. This is expected to have helped the company achieve a better geographic balance in its business.

The global macro trends, including factory miniaturization, renewable energy and energy efficiency and EV, might have favored IPG Photonics’ third-quarter performance. The megatrends are likely to have increased sales in welding, marking, systems, cleaning, 3D printing, semiconductor and medical applications.

Automakers and suppliers have been investing heavily in e-mobility vehicles globally. Rising demand for its AMB lasers and foil-cutting applications used in EV battery manufacturing might have favored IPGP’s performance in the quarter to be reported.

IPGP is likely to have gained from the automation megatrend as manufacturers are increasing their investments in automation to address shortages of labor and wage inflation. This is expected to have raised demand for the company’s LightWELD lasers.
