Onto Innovation's Specialty Devices & Advanced Packaging segment drives growth, increasing its revenue share from 40% in 2020 to 67% in 2024, with a 34% annual growth rate. Strong demand from the power device market, particularly SiC power devices for EVs, boosts Onto's growth, supported by advanced metrology and inspection technologies. Onto's comprehensive product offerings and strategic acquisitions provide a competitive edge, with major advanced packaging customers like TSMC and Samsung expanding production, driving sustained demand.
The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price.
Onto Innovation has seen sequential revenue growth this year, but the performance still lags compared to 2022. Shares have tripled in the meantime, driven by AI-excitement, but have come down since the summer. Sequential growth, interesting M&A action and a pullback increase appeal, but do not make shares necessarily appealing yet.
ONTO's Q3 2024 performance gains from continued momentum across all segments, including higher demand for its Dragonfly platform.
