At the SEMICON Taiwan event this week, equipment suppliers expressed confidence that the heavy spending on AI data centers is a long-term shift rather than a short-term spike. Some firms now predict this cycle will last until 2030 as chipmakers rush to build the more complex hardware required for AI.
This is a positive sign for the company, which makes the specialized machines used to build high-end circuit boards. Since its growth depends on chipmakers expanding their factories, a multi-year spending cycle provides a steady path for the company to work through its large order backlog.

U.S. employment grew by 162,000 jobs in August, which was more than analysts expected. This strength in the labor market gives the Federal Reserve, the central bank that manages the economy, more room to raise interest rates to keep inflation in check. For a company like this that is still working toward consistent profits, higher interest rates can be a challenge. They make it more expensive to borrow money for growth and can lead investors to pay less for stocks that promise future earnings rather than immediate cash.

Director Anette Schmid purchased roughly $218,000 worth of stock on August 30. Unlike shares granted as part of a pay package, open-market purchases like this require an insider to use their own cash, which often suggests they believe the current stock price is too low.
This purchase comes as the stock has faced a difficult stretch, losing about half its value this year. Seeing a major owner step in to buy more shares can be a reassuring sign for other holders that those closest to the business still see value at these levels.
In its recent update, the company reported revenue of about 18.2 million Euros for the first quarter. While this is typically the slowest part of the year for the business, management reaffirmed its goal to reach over 100 million Euros in revenue for the full year 2026. The order backlog for equipment stood at 49 million Euros at the end of March.
This report shows a business in the middle of a significant scale-up. While it is currently losing money on an accounting basis, the focus is on capturing the surge in demand for AI-related circuit board equipment. The key for the rest of the year will be turning that large backlog into actual sales and moving closer to a point where the business can cover its own costs.
