Stock Track11-20

Shares of Kulicke & Soffa Industries (KLIC) surged 12.21% in trading on Wednesday following the release of its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results that exceeded analyst expectations. The semiconductor equipment manufacturer reported strong earnings and provided an optimistic outlook for the upcoming quarter, driving investor enthusiasm.

For the fourth quarter, Kulicke & Soffa posted non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.28, significantly outperforming the consensus estimate of $0.22. Revenue for the quarter came in at $177.6 million, surpassing analysts' projections of $169.84 million. The company's gross margin showed improvement, reaching 45.7% for the quarter.

Adding to the positive sentiment, Kulicke & Soffa provided an upbeat forecast for the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

This strong guidance suggests that Kulicke & Soffa is positioned for continued growth, likely contributing to the stock's significant rally.
