What the Analysts think about Photronics
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Photronics stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
FPD segment outperformance: Flat panel display photomask revenue grew 14% year-over-year and sequentially to $62.6 million in Q3 FY2025, driven by advanced AMOLED and Gen 8.6 panel launches, underscoring successful diversification beyond IC masks (Investing.com).
Robust liquidity and capital returns: Photronics ended Q3 with $575.8 million in cash and short-term investments and repurchased 1.2 million shares for $21 million while authorizing an additional $25 million buyback, highlighting strong financial flexibility and shareholder focus (Investing.com).
High-end IC recovery: High-end IC photomask revenue, representing 36% of total IC sales, rose 8% year-over-year on strong order patterns in the U.S., positioning Photronics to capture premium-node growth and margin improvements (Investing.com).
Cyclical IC weakness: IC photomask revenue fell 5% year-over-year and sequentially to $147.8 million in Q3 FY2025, as softness in automotive, power and industrial applications persisted with no clear sign of recovery (Investing.com).
Geopolitical risk: With 57% of Q3 revenue derived from Taiwan (33%) and China (24%), Photronics remains exposed to potential supply-chain disruptions and trade-restriction volatility in the Asia region (Investing.com).
Intensifying competition: Tekscend Photomask’s planned ~$2 billion IPO in Japan underscores rising competitive pressure in the photomask market, potentially eroding pricing power and market share for incumbent suppliers like Photronics (Reuters).
