Nova’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 12.37%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors to Consider
Nova’s expanding geographical presence, increasing customer momentum and technology offering in the dimensional material as well as chemical metrology portfolio are expected to have driven the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
NVMI’s flexible operational model and efficient execution in the wafer fab equipment market are expected to be reflected in the third-quarter 2024 results.
Nova’s top line is expected to have been positively impacted by the growing market for leading-edge nodes, which includes gate-all-around and packaging processes. Nova PRISM 2, Chemical Metrology division, and FinFET advanced nodes process control tools are expected to significantly impact revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. This segment is seeing high demand in Taiwan, Korea and the United States.
NVMI’s Services business increase, attributed to utilization rates to obtain secure contractual and value-added revenues, is expected to have driven customer momentum in the third quarter of 2024.
Adoption of Nova’s VeraFlex XPS platform is expected to have boosted third-quarter revenues. VeraFlex XPS has gained momentum in FinFet and advanced packaging nodes. 40% of total orders were from capacity expansion in this segment, and the trend is expected to have continued in the third quarter of 2024.
However, sluggish momentum in markets like memory and advanced packaging is expected to have hurt NVMI’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
