Factors to Note
ACM Research’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have benefited from solid growth in wafer processing solutions and advanced packaging as customers continue to scale their production capacities to meet rising demand. Rising production capacity is expected to attract new customers for ACM Research.

ACM Research has also been banking on its capability to work at full capacity to produce tools used in manufacturing semiconductors in large volumes for many fabs globally. ACM Research is expected to benefit from developing its new facilities in Chuansha, Shanghai, and South Korea as it will help it address the rising demand for semiconductors globally.
Further, in the first quarter, ACM Research is expected to benefit from the $545 million raised in the star market IPO. This is expected to create a strong balance sheet to fund ACM Research’s growth as a global player in the semiconductor equipment industry.
