Amtech Systems anticipates revenues to be in the range of $18 million to $20 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is currently pegged at $19 billion, which indicates a plunge of 22.1% from the year-ago reported figure.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 7 cents per share, unchanged over the past 30 days. The company had reported earnings of 6 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
Amtech Systems’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, while missing the same on one occasion, the average surprise being 32.1%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors Likely to Influence ASYS’ Q1 Results
Amtech Systems has identified advanced packaging as a significant growth opportunity, particularly within artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the company observed a strengthening demand for its equipment used in advanced packaging applications, particularly within AI infrastructure. The trend is likely to have continued and aided fiscal first-quarter performance.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, sales of equipment used in AI infrastructure made up about 30% of Thermal Processing Solutions’ revenues, up from 25% in the third quarter. This shows how quickly AI demand is becoming an important part of Amtech Systems’ business. Per management, bookings in the fiscal fourth quarter suggest that AI-related demand should remain strong going forward. This uptick in demand is expected to have served as a key growth catalyst in the to-be-reported quarter.
Amtech Systems has made substantial progress in restructuring its operations to improve cost efficiency and better align with evolving market demands. Over the last year and a half, it has reduced its factory footprint by lowering its manufacturing factories from seven sites to four sites, while shifting some production to partners.
A core element of this transformation is the adoption of a semi-fabless manufacturing model, which has effectively reduced fixed costs and improved operational leverage. In the fourth quarter, management stated that these steps have resulted in $13 million of annual savings. Amtech Systems’ cost reduction initiatives are likely to have positively aided margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, Amtech Systems continues to face weak demand in its mature node semiconductor business, which remains a major headwind. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, ASYS' revenues were affected by persistent weakness in the mature node semiconductor market. This, in turn, resulted in lower sales of front-end equipment and consumables tied to mature node semiconductor applications mainly used in industrial and automotive markets. Continued weakness in mature node demand is likely to have more than offset the benefits of the abovementioned factors in the fiscal first quarter.
