Read MoreHide Full Article
Universal Display Corporation (OLED - Free Report) reported weak second-quarter 2022 results wherein both the bottom line and the top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

The material sales segment reported revenues of $71.9 million compared with $77.4 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting a decline of 7.2%. For the year, due to inflationary pressure, the company estimates material gross margins will be toward the lower end of the guidance range of 65% to 70%.
