Notably, Ultra Clean’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 26.8%, on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Ultra Clean Holdings prior to this announcement.

Factors to Consider

Ultra Clean’s second-quarter performance is anticipated to have benefited from strong demand for semiconductor products and services, led by solid traction in the semiconductor market.

The company’s robust portfolio of diverse offerings has positioned it well to capitalize on the growing demand for technology that supports 5G wireless, high-performance cloud computing, IoT and AI.

With an increase in wafer fabrication equipment investment, Ultra Clean’s cleaning and analytical services are likely to have become more critical to its integrated device manufacturer and original equipment manufacturer customers to support the production of leading next-gen devices. This is likely to have aided customer acquisition in the to-be-reported quarter.

Ultra Clean’s top line is expected to have benefited from the acquisition of Ham-Let.

Supply chain constraints are expected to have hurt quarterly results.
