What's in Store for Axcelis Technologies (ACLS) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (ACLS - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 7, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 14.1%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 24.1%, on average.
The Beverly, MA-based company is expected to have recorded year-over-year higher revenues, driven by implant systems revenues. It is a leading supplier of enabling ion implantation solutions for the semiconductor industry.
The specialty markets, particularly the implant-intensive power device segment, are generating significant market expansion. The company is capitalizing on the strength of these segments with market-leading Purion product extensions designed to meet customer requirements.
Factors at Play
During the quarter, Axcelis Technologies announced shipments of its Purion high current and high energy implanters to a leading memory device manufacturer located in Asia. The shipments included multiple follow on orders for the Purion H high current implanter and the Purion XE high energy implanter.
The company introduced the GSD Ovation high current and high energy batch implanters. The GSD Ovation systems support the growing 200mm new fab construction and expansion activity.
It completed a Purion H high current tool evaluation at a leading advanced logic device manufacturer. The Purion H has high current implanter architecture, featuring unique scanned spot beam technology, designed for memory and logic applications. These developments are likely to have positively impacted Axcelis Technologies’ performance in the quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $190 million, which indicates growth of 55.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 84 cents, suggesting an increase of 162.5%.
