[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Hana Financial Investment forecasted on the 25th that EO Technics' laser marking equipment will drive performance improvement.


Kim Kyungmin, a researcher at Hana Financial Investment, explained, "The product that promotes the increase in operating profit in the second quarter is the laser marking equipment, which is the core business," adding, "Many semiconductor backend service providers in Taiwan have ordered laser marking equipment."


He continued, "Significant economic effects from scale that reduce fixed costs are expected," and added, "By internalizing the essential light source and control technology for laser marking equipment, the more equipment shipped, the higher the profit margin."


Researcher Kim emphasized, "Besides laser marking equipment, sales of laser equipment for displays are also stronger than usual," and said, "They will supply equipment to Asian display customers."


He analyzed, "With solid orders for laser marking equipment, strong performance is expected to continue into the third quarter following the second quarter," and added, "Just as laser equipment for displays boosted overall sales in the second quarter, annealing equipment for semiconductor frontend processes will support overall sales in the third quarter."



Furthermore, he emphasized, "Starting from the fourth quarter of this year, equipment that cuts frontend wafers will contribute to sales," and stated, "In the domestic semiconductor sector, companies with significant non-memory semiconductor equipment sales, like ASML, are expected to achieve strong results in the third quarter as well."
