Axcelis posted Q2 revenue of $215.2 million, beating its own forecasts thanks to stronger system shipments and aftermarket volume. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.06 exceeded expectations, and the Q3 outlook calls for $230 million in revenue and non-GAAP EPS of $1.11—both above the pre-release consensus. In a notable shift, management now expects full-year 2026 revenue growth, reversing earlier caution, and reaffirmed that the Veeco merger remains on track to close in the second half of 2026. The results and guidance point to improving demand across memory, power, and general mature markets, though GAAP margins continue to be pressured by merger-related costs.
