Context and risks
Exposure to the semiconductor cycle: demand for testing and dispensing equipment is tied to chipmaker capex, which is highly cyclical. The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) pressures the valuation of a company with a P/E of 33x, although its moderate debt (ND/EBITDA 1.78) limits financial risk.
