On August 12, Onto Innovation Inc. rose 5.38% in regular trading, trading at $340.015/share, with turnover of $39.68 million. The gain was driven by broad semiconductor equipment sector strength and continued post-earnings rebound momentum following a brief pullback tied to a large equity acquisition.
The semiconductor equipment sector rallied broadly, with Applied Materials up 4.58%, Lam Research up 5.02%, and KLA Corporation up 4.06%, reflecting strong sector-wide linkage. The company reported Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.93, beating the consensus estimate of $1.68 by approximately 14.9%, while revenue of $343.1 million exceeded the $325.3 million estimate. Q3 guidance of $2.18-$2.38 EPS significantly surpassed the $1.93 Street estimate. Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating and raised its price target to $383.
The stock had previously declined approximately 5% on August 10 after announcing the acquisition of a 27% equity stake in Rigaku for 113.08 billion Japanese yen, triggering profit-taking. Strong fundamental support has since attracted sustained buying, extending the rebound.
