On July 21, Nova Ltd rose 5.19% in pre-market trading, trading at $455.63/share, with turnover of $2.9789 million.
The broad semiconductor equipment sector surged as AI-driven capital expenditure expectations continue to bolster the industry outlook. Jefferies recently raised its global wafer fabrication equipment market size forecasts to $152 billion, $200 billion, and $253 billion for the next three years respectively, citing strong advanced logic and memory spending supported by AI and HBM demand. The firm noted that if AI expansion continues, the equipment market could reach $300 billion by 2029.
Nova Ltd has also benefited from company-specific tailwinds, including Morgan Stanley raising its price target to $540 from $494, and the selection of its WMC platform by a global foundry customer for advanced packaging processes. Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, Applied Materials rose 5.62%, Lam Research rose 5.93%, KLA-Tencor rose 5.08%, Teradyne rose 6.24%, and ASML rose 3.14%.
