ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 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.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Semiconductor inspection and metrology. HBM4 transition = more inspection needed per chip.
Israel-based company. Geopolitical risk if Middle East tensions broaden.
Quantum chip manufacturing needs precision inspection.
China export controls could limit semi equipment sales.
Israel-based, USD-denominated revenue. Dollar strength/weakness has mixed effects. At 48x PE, some rate sensitivity.
No energy grid relevance.
No significant fiscal exposure.
