Three higher lows since the 2026-07-29 China-substitution break, and the domestic SSA800 now benchmarks as a 2008-generation ASML tool — but the…
The 2026-08-04 beat was fully round-tripped by the 2026-08-05 close of $211.14; the repricing that stuck came 2026-08-07, when BofA initiated at…
Order cadence is intact — 2026-06-17, 07-09, 08-04 — but the 2026-08-04 spike to $109.89 has bled to $103.07 (2026-08-07 close) with no company…
Q2 (7/16) beat every line and lifted FY26 growth guide above 40%, but the capex raise to $60–64B and a 2026-07-26 Samsung–Broadcom $200B foundry…
"3-mo price move" is the stock's market price change, not an orbyd return.
How this page is built
These are the names orbyd covers in the semiconductor equipment stocks cluster — each with a dated research dossier. Names currently on the move rank first by 3-month price momentum, then the rest of the covered roster. Cluster membership is assigned by a frontier model, currently read as accelerating.
Upgraded from MATURING on two dated catalysts: Tower beat Q2 and guided Q3 sales to $494.0M-$546.0M against a $490.0M estimate (08-04) with BofA initiating Buy at a $367 target (08-07), and Aehr received a follow-on FOX-XP production order from its lead silicon-photonics WLBI customer (08-04). TSM and ASML carry no company-specific news this week, so the status rests on the two small caps; absent a third fresh order the theme reverts to MATURING.
Questions
- What semiconductor equipment stocks does orbyd cover?
- As of 2026-08-09, the semiconductor equipment stocks orbyd tracks are led by ASML, TSEM, AEHR, TSM, each with a dated research dossier. Names already moving rank first by 3-month price momentum; this is research, not a recommendation.
- Is the semiconductor equipment stocks theme accelerating or slowing?
- orbyd's model reads this cluster as accelerating as of 2026-08-09.
