Axcellis Technologies, Inc. (ACLS) has shown significant volatility recently, reflecting mixed opinions from various experts. One analyst warns against investing in the stock at this time, citing a notable downtrend and lack of robust buying volumes despite a possible short-term recovery. Conversely, another expert, Trevor Rose from 5i Research, points out that ACLS's financials are relatively strong, highlighting a flat revenue in Q1-2024 that surpassed initial estimates and a healthy balance sheet. He believes the stock presents potential value with future growth anticipated, despite some cyclicality in its business. Lastly, a stock analyst previously regarded ACLS as a top pick but has now suggested covering the position following a triggered stop-loss, indicating some caution about its current trajectory.
ACLS designs and manufactures processing equipment used in the fabrication of chips and is now trading at 14.2x times' Forward P/E. In Q1-2024, ACLS’s revenue was largely flat compared to last year's $252M, beating estimates of $242.6M and EPS was $1.57, beating estimates of $1.24. The operating results were solid, above the company’s guidance. The balance sheet is strong, with a net cash of $485M. The company generates healthy cash flow and returns some as buybacks. Based on consensus estimates, sales are expected to be flat this year and start to grow by 10% next year. We think there is some cyclicality in ACLS’s business but nowhere close to a secular decline. We think it looks decent today.
