Analysis · VECO · Technology
Second-quarter revenue at Veeco advanced 16% year-over-year to $193.5 million, fueled by robust demand in Data Storage and Compound Semiconductor. Net income came in at $11.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. The merger with Axcelis Technologies remains on course, awaiting only China's regulatory green light, with a close anticipated in the second half of 2026. In a separate development, the CEO and CFO adopted 10b5-1 trading plans for up to 200,000 and 35,000 shares, respectively, which may introduce near-term selling pressure. Meanwhile, the 2029 convertible notes have become convertible at the option of holders, adding a potential dilution overhang.
