Thursday, May 2, 10:28 AM Veeco (VECO -2.8%), Aixtron (AIXG -1.3%), and Rubicon (RBCN -0.7%) slump after the Shenzhen, China government reportedly ends a 7-year, $21B LED incentive plan that helped make the city China's LED manufacturing capital. Notable Calls observes sell-side firms have named Chinese subsidy cuts as a risk for Veeco (I, II, III). Shares might also be pressured by GT Advanced's (GTAT -7.3%) revenue miss and light 2013 guidance - GT only saw $16.6M in new orders in Q1, and removed $356M worth of sapphire furnace orders from its backlog that considers at-risk. (LED equipment price cuts) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Thursday, April 25, 11:45 AM Aixtron (AIXG): Q1 EPS of -$0.75. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]

Wednesday, April 24, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: ABC, AIXG, ALK, ALXN, AME, ASPS, AVT, AZN, BC, BG, BIIB, BLL, BMS, BMY, BSX, BWA, CAB, CAM, CCE, CELG, CFX, CL, CMS, CNX, COP, CRR, CSH, D, DAN, DLX, DNKN, DO, DOW, DST, EQT, ESI, ETR, FAF, GPK, GTI, GTLS, HERO, HOG, HP, HSY, IDCC, IMAX, JBLU, KKR, KMT, LEA, LINE, LKQ, LLL, LUV, LVLT, MDP, MJN, MMM, MO, NBL, NLSN, NMM, NYT, O, ODFL, ORI, OXY, PCS, PDS, PH, PHM, POT, PRLB, PTEN, PVR, RCL, RDWR, RRD, RS, RTN, RYN, SCG, SIAL, SUI, SWK, SWY, TASR, TSRA, TWC, UAL, UPS, UTHR, WBC, XOM, YNDX, ZMH Comment! [Earnings]
Tuesday, April 23, 10:20 AM Storage/hard drive stocks are outperforming, possibly aided by Veeco's Q1 bookings numbers: the company reported hard drive equipment bookings totaled $27M, down 7% Y/Y but up 60% Q/Q in spite of slumping PC demand. Veeco added on its CC (transcript) hard drive customers are "starting to make selective technology buy decisions" once more. STX +2.6%. WDC +2.6%. EMC +1.8%. NTAP +2.7%. XRTX +1.6%. QTM +5.1%. EMC reports tomorrow morning. Also, LED/solar equipment makers Aixtron (AIXG +9%) and GT Advanced (GTAT +2.7%) are getting a lift from Veeco's numbers and bullish Q2 commentary. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, April 22, 4:27 PM Veeco (VECO) +8.6% AH after providing a Q1 business update that was better than feared. Bookings for the quarter totaled $70M, down 24% Q/Q and 38% Y/Y. LED/solar bookings amounted to $43M, -49% Y/Y, while hard drive equipment bookings fell 7% to $27M. The company's cash balance rose by $9M Q/Q to $588M. Veeco, whose earnings reports have been delayed as it does an accounting review, says MOCVD end market signals "are mixed but appear to be trending in a positive direction," with some LED customers operating at close to full capacity. Aixtron (AIXG) could rally in sympathy. (Q4 bookings) 4 Comments [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, April 17, 11:01 AM Veeco (VECO -7.7%) and Aixtron (AIXG -5.6%) get hammered after Digitimes reports the companies slashed prices for single-wafer MOCVD LED manufacturing systems to ~$1.4M from ~$2M, and 30%-40% for multi-wafer systems, due to Chinese competition. The companies have already been struggling with weak equipment demand on account of overcapacity: Digitimes Research estimates MOCVD shipments will fall 46% this year to 148; Veeco is seen shipping 89 of them, and Aixtron 53. Cree (CREE -3.7%) and GT Advanced (GTAT -4.2%) are also selling off. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, March 25, 11:07 AM In addition to upgrading Veeco to Buy, Canaccord has lifted LED equipment rival Aixtron (AIXG +5.4%) to Hold and sapphire wafer vendor Rubicon (RBCN +4.2%) to Buy. The Rubicon upgrade comes a month after shares were crushed due to the guidance provided with the company's Q4 report. Comment! [Tech]
Tuesday, March 5, 9:42 AM Cree (CREE +11.4%) raises its FQ3 guidance: the company now expects revenue of $335M-$350M and EPS of $0.31-$0.36 vs. prior guidance of $325M-$345M and $0.30-$0.35, and a consensus of $336.1M and $0.33. Cree is also announcing new, aggressively-priced LED bulbs: Home Depot will sell a 40W-replacement bulb for $9.97, and 60W-replacements for $12.97 and $13.97. Shares are making new 52-week highs. Up in sympathy: RBCN +3%. AIXG +3.5%. GTAT +6%. VECO +5.5%. (PR) Comment! [Tech, On the Move, Earnings]
Thursday, February 28, 1:55 PM Beaten-down Aixtron (AIXG +10.6%) skies higher after reporting Q4 revenue of €77.5M ($101.4M), soundly above a €66.1M consensus. EPS, hurt by restructuring efforts, came in at -€0.43, well below a -€0.07 consensus. Backlog fell 44% Y/Y to €79.4M and management declined to provide formal guidance, but it also thinks a 2H improvement in LED equipment is possible, and sees "incremental demand" from non-LED semiconductor apps for its MOCVD systems. Rival MOCVD system maker Veeco (VECO +4.1%) is up in sympathy. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, February 28, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AIXG, AWR, BDBD, BKS, BRLI, BRY, CHS, CTRX, CVC, DANG, DPZ, GMXR, GTLS, HK, IRDM, IRM, ISIS, KSS, LKQ, MCGC, MTG, NIHD, OCN, PKT, RDC, RNO, SDRL, SHLD, TD, TTI, VRX, WNR, WPX, WWE Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, February 27, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: AIXG, AWR, BDBD, BKS, BRLI, BRY, CHS, CTRX, CVC, DANG, DPZ, GMXR, GTLS, HK, IRDM, IRM, ISIS, KSS, LKQ, MCGC, MTG, NIHD, OCN, PKT, RDC, RNO, SDRL, SHLD, TD, TTI, VRX, WNR, WPX, WWE Comment! [Earnings]
Wednesday, February 20, 4:55 PM Rubicon (RBCN) has resumed trading and is down 17.7% in response to the ugly Q1 guidance accompanying its slight Q4 miss. LED equipment makers GTAT and AIXG could trade lower in sympathy, particularly in light of Rubicon's comments about excess inventory at a top LED client and very weak pricing for 2"-4" wafers. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 19, 1:36 PM LED equipment makers Veeco (VECO -1.8%) and Aixtron (AIXG -5.2%) slump after JPMorgan's Paul Coster lowers Veeco to Neutral. Coster, who's lowering his 2013 EPS forecast, is worried about weak near-term sales for MOCVD reactors from LED makers thanks to overcapacity - Veeco raised the issue on Feb. 8. LED chip/lighting giant Cree (CREE -0.3%) has been downgraded to Perform by Oppenheimer on valuation grounds - shares now trade at 27x FY14E EPS - but is only off slightly. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Friday, February 8, 10:20 AM LED/hard drive equipment maker Veeco (VECO -2.1%) slides after reporting its Q4 bookings totaled $92.3M, +10% Q/Q but -37% Y/Y. The company, whose full Q4 results are on hold thanks to an accounting review, added it doesn't "see any clear signs" LED industry overcapacity and weak end-market demand for hard drives will improve in the near-term. Moreover, "competitive pricing pressure" exists in the LED equipment space. AIXG -1.6%. Comment! [Tech, Earnings, On the Move]
Wednesday, January 23, 1:45 PM Cree's (CREE +20.2%) big FQ2 beat and strong FQ3 guidance is fueling a rally in LED stocks. SemiLEDs (LEDS +31.7%) is the biggest winner, but Aixtron (AIXG +7.9%), Veeco (VECO +4.6%), and (to a lesser extent) Rubicon (RBCN +1.3%) are also up. Piper has belatedly launched coverage on Cree with an Overweight, and Needham declares the report a validation of the company's vertical integration strategy. Cree noted on its earnings call LED pricing remains tough, but also forecast strong growth for its higher-margin SC3 products. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
