Camtek (CAMT) Surges 12.1%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Camtek (CAMT - Free Report) shares rallied 12.1% in the last trading session to close at $85.90. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 16.9% loss over the past four weeks.
The optimism surrounding the stock can be attributed to the rising adoption of Camtek’s advanced interconnect packaging technologies, such as heterogeneous integration, which includes chiplet modules and high bandwidth memory. Winning multiple system orders from several customers is contributing well to its top line.
This maker of automatic optical inspection and process enhancement systems is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.70 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +37.3%. Revenues are expected to be $108.8 million, up 35.2% from the year-ago quarter.
While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
For Camtek, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on CAMT going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
Camtek belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Measuring Instruments industry. Another stock from the same industry, Keysight (KEYS - Free Report) , closed the last trading session 3.9% higher at $158.64. Over the past month, KEYS has returned 0.1%.
Keysight's consensus EPS estimate for the upcoming report has changed -0.5% over the past month to $1.57. Compared to the company's year-ago EPS, this represents a change of -21.1%. Keysight currently boasts a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
