Monday, February 4, 4:18 PM Nanometrics (NANO): Q4 EPS of -$0.13 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $30.3M (-33% Y/Y) beats by $0.13M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Tech]
Monday, January 7, 9:57 AM Applied Materials (AMAT -2.5%) slides after receiving a downgrade to Underweight from JPMorgan's Chris Blansett: he considers AMAT's recent rally a selling opportunity, and predicts upcoming earnings and capex guidance for major chipmakers will be a negative for the chip equipment space. Blansett, who's also cutting estimates for KLA-Tencor (KLAC -1.7%), Lam Research (LRCX -1.3%), and Nanometrics (NANO -1.5%), sees chip equipment spending falling 10%-15% in 2013; Gartner has forecast a 9.7% drop, following a 17.4% decline in 2012. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 5:24 PM Nanometrics (NANO): Q3 EPS of $0.10 beats by $0.12. Revenue of $43.9M (-24.7% Y/Y) beats by $1.2M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech]

Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 6:16 PM Nanometrics (NANO): Q4 EPS of $0.10 beats by $0.09. Revenue of $45.3M (-1.7% Y/Y) beats by $4M. Shares +0.8% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Tech]
Thursday, December 15, 2011, 11:47 AM Lam Research's (LRCX -3.7%) proposed acquisition (I, II) of Novellus (NVLS +21.1%) is giving a lift to several of the companies' peers, as investors hope the merger of the third and fourth largest U.S. chip equipment makers will spur further consolidation in the downtrodden industry. UTEK +5.8%. CYMI +4.1%. NANO +3.7%. KLIC +4.6%. ASMI +3.3%. AIXG +3.5%. MKSI +3.2%. Comment! [Tech, On the Move, M&A]
Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 1:27 PM Stifel reiterates a Buy on chip/LED/solar equipment maker Nanometrics (NANO -0.4%) following its acquisition of Nanda Technologies, a German maker of equipment for inspecting chip defects. The firm believes the high throughput of Nanda's gear is a differentiator, and that the buy increases Nanometrics' addressable market by $300M-$400M. (October crash) Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas, M&A]
Friday, October 28, 2011, 8:12 AM Nanometrics (NANO) falls 17.7% premarket after beating EPS estimates by a penny on Q3 revenue of $58M (+7.6% Y/Y). Hitting shares hard is the "significant pause" in spending by manufacturers of semiconductors and LEDs that the company points to as it guides Q4 revenue down to a range of $40M-$44M and slots EPS in at $0.01-$0.07. Comment! [On the Move, Tech]
Friday, August 5, 2011, 1:35 PM Oppenheimer is starting coverage on Sandisk (SNDK), Nanometrics (NANO), and KLA-Tencor (KLAC) at Outperform. The firm thinks Sandisk and Nanometrics will benefit from strong flash memory demand, and KLA will gain from the growing complexity of the chip wafer inspection process, which should boost sales of its wafer inspection tools. 1 Comment [Tech, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, January 19, 2011, 11:59 AM Cree's (CREE -13.8%) Q2 earnings miss bodes poorly for the LED sector. Also down are LED equipment makers Aixtron (AIXG -3.8%), Veeco Instruments (VECO -6.2%), and Nanometrics (NANO -1.8%), as well as LED materials supplier Rubicon (RBCN -5.7%). Cree attributed its results to component over supply in Asia. Comment! [Tech]
Friday, January 14, 2011, 3:30 PM Today's semiconductor surge pushes not just high-profile chipmakers like Broadcom (BRCM +2.7%) and Nvidia (NVDA +1.5%) to new 52-week highs, but at least 15 others, as well. They include both chip manufacturers and component and gear suppliers, such as Atmel (ATML +0.4%) and Applied Materials (AMAT +7.4%). Comment! [Tech]
Friday, January 14, 2011, 11:05 AM Intel's (INTC -0.8%) strong Q4 is boosting semiconductor gear supplier Applied Materials (AMAT), which is +4.9%. Analysts are upbeat about the chip equipment supplier segment overall. Other companies in the sector include ASM Lithography (ASML +7.2%), Novellus (NVLS +7.6%) and ASM Intl (ASMI +5.4%). Comment!
