Q&A details AI offset, capacity confidence
Q&A reinforced prepared optimism on semi ramp and E&P momentum but added color: AI chemistry doubled to 10% of E&P mix in 2025, sequentially rising to offset low single-digit PC/smartphone declines. Management voiced strong capacity confidence for 15-20% WFE growth, with factories full through H1'26 and Malaysia providing surge later. Chemistry equipment bookings stay robust, signaling future revenue via 18-24 month lag. Q1 gross margins hit yearly low from Lunar New Year but inflect higher. Factories are full through mid-2026. Answers directly tackled ramp constraints and consumer risks. Watch semi execution amid rising demand.
