Base and Bull scenarios

Base55%

Price target

$160.48

-47.8% from spot

The rebound is delivered, but support growth and process wins do not justify extending peak growth indefinitely.

Dated analyst forecasts support growth through FY2028; later growth fading toward mature rates remains a house assumption.

Bull20%

Price target

$198.57

-35.5% from spot

More installed tools would support later service demand, while higher system volume would spread fixed costs across more sales. The case fades if those validation measures weaken.

The equipment build extends beyond FY2028 as a scenario assumption, validated by continuing support growth, process wins and sustained margins.

Sensitivity: Ke × terminal growth

The highlighted cell is Fair value when every assumption sits at its base level ($160.48). Each row and column shows what Fair value becomes when one assumption moves.
