The company recently secured multiple big orders from key customers due to the rising increase in high bandwidth memory in AI applications and data centers. Plus, hybrid bonding technology could ramp up in a few years, which would mean further growth opportunities for CAMT. This is another firm benefiting from the AI boom.

In terms of financial performance, CAMT is expected to post quarterly per-share earnings of $0.65, which would be a year-over-year gain of 44.4%. Similarly, the company’s quarterly revenue is expected to rise by 37.5% from a year prior, up to $101.45 million. For fiscal 2024, CAMT is expected to generate EPS of $2.61.

It’s no wonder CAMT shares are up 86% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
