Analysis · ACMR · Technology
ACM Research's Shanghai subsidiary disclosed that newly signed orders grew 105% year-over-year in the first half of 2026, with strong growth across electroplating, cleaning, and advanced packaging equipment. Management reiterated a gross margin range of 42% to 48% and provided concrete product milestones, including the first volume-production order for its 510×515 mm panel-level electroplating system with delivery planned for Q1 2027. This follows the company's Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance on August 7, reinforcing the demand narrative. The disclosure is notable because it quantifies order momentum and margin expectations at a time when insider selling has been heavy — CFO Mark McKechnie sold $4.26M under a 10b5-1 plan on August 22, and net insider activity over 90 days is negative $15.1M.
