Axcelis Technologies stock rating reaffirmed at Buy by DA Davidson

Investing.com - DA Davidson has reiterated its Buy rating and $110.00 price target on Axcelis Technologies (NASDAQ:ACLS) following the company’s quarterly earnings report. This target represents a 33% upside from the current price of $82.76, aligning with InvestingPro data showing that 3 analysts have revised their earnings upwards for the upcoming period.

The semiconductor equipment manufacturer delivered what DA Davidson described as a "solid beat and raise quarter," with its stock performing positively despite broader market weakness in the semiconductor sector.

DA Davidson noted that weak bookings represented "the only real concern" during the quarter, though indicators suggest sequential growth is expected in the fourth quarter.

Based on the quarterly results, DA Davidson increased its future-year estimates for Axcelis while maintaining its existing Buy rating and $110 price target on the stock. InvestingPro analysis indicates that Axcelis appears undervalued with a strong financial health score of "GOOD" and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
