Overview
A precision manufacturer of fluid delivery subsystems and other critical components for the semiconductor capital equipment market, supplying major wafer fab equipment makers as a key upstream link in the chip manufacturing supply chain. Q1 2026 sales grew to $256.07 million (from $244.47 million) with net loss narrowing to $2.47 million; the company is in the midst of one of its steepest revenue ramps ever, with unconstrained Q2 2026 demand exceeding $300 million (30%+ growth in two quarters), driven heavily by AI hyperscaling demand for etch and deposition applications and gate-all-around architecture complexity.
