Kulicke and Soffa’s fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the company’s aggressive expansion plans and ramped up production within the advanced packaging, automotive, and advanced display portfolio to meet rising industry demand.
KLIC’s third-quarter performance is likely to have gained from the rise of certain global megatrends such as the transition to EV. Automakers and suppliers globally have been investing extensively in manufacturing e-mobility vehicles. This has led to rising demand for KLIC’s automotive semiconductor applications utilized in EV battery manufacturing, which in turn might have favored KLIC’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company has been aggressively building its next-generation laser-based battery assembly and wedge-bonder battery solutions. This is expected to have attracted a wide variety of customers in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company is expected to have benefited from its recent partnership with PDF Solutions (PDFS - Free Report) in the to-be-reported quarter.
KLIC partnered with PDF Solutions to create a new analytic platform that leverages comprehensive real-time data available within KLIC’s assembly system with AI and machine learning capability. This is likely to have aided customers produce semiconductors in high volume efficiently. This is expected to help in subduing the effects of the global supply chain constraints.
Due to its current operational strategy, the company may have expanded its market share and won more customers in the third quarter, courtesy of emerging industrial applications, such as battery backup and assembly.
However, increased expenses due to ongoing global supply chain challenges are likely to have weighed on the fiscal third-quarter gross margin.
