Revenue came in at $1.248 billion versus $1.206 billion expected, up 28.4% year-over-year. Q3 guidance also exceeded expectations, with projected adjusted EPS of $3.58 on revenue of $1.35 billion.

The broader semiconductor equipment sector saw capital inflows, with KLA Corporation up 3.75%, Applied Materials up 2.96%, and Lam Research up 2.15%, collectively reinforcing the rebound momentum.
