Richardson Electronics delivered a standout quarter and fiscal year, with Q4 sales surging 27.6% to $66.2 million and GAAP net income more than tripling to $3.7 million. All three business units grew double-digits, backlog hit a three-year high of $164.4 million, and the company declared a $0.06 dividend. The results confirm a meaningful turnaround from last year's loss, driven by semiconductor wafer fab equipment demand and improved operating leverage. With no debt and $31.8 million in cash, the balance sheet is strong, but the stock is already near its 52-week high, suggesting much of the good news may be priced in.
