Kulicke and Soffa Industries (KLIC) has surged 93.6% over the past year, outpacing a 107% industry rise and topping peers Veeco Instruments (VECO) and Axcelis Technologies (ACLS). The rally is driven by AI-enabled semiconductor demand, strong advanced packaging momentum, and a broader industry recovery. KLIC cites growing use of high-bandwidth memory, advanced logic, and heterogeneous packaging, plus a Thermo-Compression Bonding (TCB) opportunity with targeted 2026 revenues above $100 million and capacity near $400 million annually. The company is also pursuing Co-Packaged Optics to meet AI data-center bandwidth and power needs, while traditional wire bonding benefits from AI infrastructure. In Q3 FY2026, revenue rose 122.6% year over year to $330.4 million; non-GAAP EPS was $1.20, beating estimates. Management guided Q4 revenue around $375 million and EPS about $1.42.
