What the Analysts think about MKS Instruments
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for MKS Instruments stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
MKS faces increased tariff risks as ongoing US-China tensions could indirectly reduce demand through higher costs and fewer orders, especially in the analog and consumer segments tied to global supply chains (Bloomberg Intelligence Apr. 15, 2025).
China’s investment in chipmaking equipment is projected to drop 6% to $38 billion in 2025, ending three years of growth and signaling lower capital spending that may cut order volumes for equipment suppliers such as MKS (Reuters Feb. 12, 2025).
The industry downturn continues as BE Semiconductor saw orders fall 20% quarter over quarter to €121.9 million, missing expectations and underlining ongoing weakness that could also impact MKS’s Vacuum and Photonics segment bookings (Bloomberg Feb. 20, 2025).
