Shares of Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) plunged as much as 5.65% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the company's disappointing second-quarter earnings report and weaker-than-expected guidance for the third quarter.

The semiconductor equipment maker reported non-GAAP earnings of $0.42 per diluted share for the second quarter, missing analysts' expectations of $0.43 per share. While net sales of $175.9 million were up from the previous year, they also fell short of the consensus estimate of $176 million.

Adding to investors' concerns, Veeco provided a lackluster outlook for the third quarter. The company expects adjusted earnings per share between $0.39 and $0.49, below the analysts' forecast of $0.46. Revenue guidance for the quarter was set at $170 million to $190 million, compared to the consensus estimate of $181.9 million.
