ℹ️ How are these calculated?
COMPOSITE = Σ(event relevance × event probability) × entry quality / 100. Combines how much this stock benefits from macro events with how good the entry point is right now. For CAMT: (60 × 85% + -5 × 60% + 5 × 35% + -15 × 55% + -5 × 0% + 0 × 0% + 0 × 0%) × 27/100 = 11. Higher is better. Range: typically 0–100.
BULL UPSIDE = (bull price target − current price) / current price. For CAMT: ($195 − $155) / $155 = +26%. This is the maximum upside if the most optimistic analyst thesis plays out.
ENTRY QUALITY (0–100) = how attractive the current price is as a buy point. Based on: % below all-time high (-5%), upside to bull PT (+26%), forward PE (47x vs sector), and analyst conviction. Score: 27. Poor entry — near ATH or very expensive valuation.
CONFIDENCE = our overall conviction in the thesis (0–100%). Factors: strength of catalysts, analyst coverage quality, thesis durability, risk/reward skew.Moderate conviction — thesis is solid but risks are material.

🎯 Investment Thesis

HBM4 transition requires dramatically more inspection — each HBM stack has more layers that need checking. Camtek specializes in this niche. All analysts unanimously Buy with rising PTs: B. Riley raised to $175, Needham to $160, BofA to $160, Jefferies to $140. Near ATH at 4% below ($164) with strong momentum — 71% gain over past year. Revenue growth driven by advanced packaging inspection demand.

⚠️ Key Risk

Near ATH at 4% below ($164) — limited margin of safety. 48x forward PE (trailing 151x) is stretched for a semi equipment name. Israel-based — geopolitical risk premium. Semi equipment is cyclical. Current price above consensus PT of $138 — upside requires further PT raises.
