ACM Research US00108J1097

Shares of semiconductor equipment provider ACM Research have found support following the company's release of a more detailed and ambitious long-term outlook. By refining its 2025 revenue forecast and, for the first time, issuing a concrete target for 2026, the firm has bolstered investor confidence. This clarity is further reinforced by recent confirmations of key product shipments that validate its strategic growth path.

Beyond the financial projections, ACM Research is hitting tangible operational milestones. The company confirmed the initial delivery of its Ultra ECP ap Electrochemical Plating tool. Additionally, the first Ultra Lith BK system has been shipped to a manufacturer within the display panel sector. These deliveries serve as concrete evidence of product execution and provide a foundation for the ambitious revenue goals set for the upcoming fiscal years. The progress toward these long-term objectives will be closely monitored in forthcoming quarterly earnings reports.

Revised and New Revenue Benchmarks

ACM Research has provided a more precise financial forecast, signaling strong confidence in its near-term future. For the full year 2025, the company now anticipates revenue in the range of $885 million to $900 million. This narrows the previous guidance, which spanned from $875 million to $925 million.

More significant for current market sentiment is the inaugural revenue projection for 2026. ACM Research expects to generate between $1.08 billion and $1.175 billion in sales that year. This robust forecast implies a continuation of strong double-digit growth and appears to be a primary catalyst behind the stock's recent positive performance.

Analyst Targets and Institutional Activity

In light of the updated guidance, financial analysts are adjusting their models. The consolidated one-year price target range currently sits between approximately $38.00 and $41.80, with some individual targets reaching as high as $45.00. Notably, the share price has recently traded above these average targets.

While the overall market mood appears constructive, there have been notable shifts among institutional investors. Mitsubishi UFJ Trust & Banking Corp. significantly reduced its stake in ACM Research during the third quarter. The institution sold 942,382 shares, decreasing its holdings by 40.9 percent.
