Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Kulicke and Soffa’s fiscal first-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from strong demand across all the product categories driven by its efforts to stretch capacity and deliver additional display solutions despite supply chain constraints.
The company is likely to have expanded its market share and won more customers in the first quarter, courtesy of emerging equipment portfolios.
The new offerings, including the Luminex Display system, Apama and Katalyst advanced packing system that are aimed at supporting high-performance computing and mobile applications, are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line.
