Wasatch Micro Cap Fund Ken Korngiebel, Thomas Bradley, Natalie Pesqué | “Veeco Instruments, Inc.

The company provides advanced chip packaging solutions and technology that is integral to efforts to continue shrinking the size and improving the power efficiency of integrated circuits. Veeco is seeing rising demand for its proprietary solutions, and the stock has participated fully in the year's semiconductor stock rally. We trimmed the position on strength during the quarter.” | NEUTRAL | Q2 2026 Jul 25, 2026 | View Pitch |
Riverwater Sustainable Value Strategy Adam J. Peck, CFA | “Veeco Instruments (VECO) was our largest contributor for the quarter. As a supplier of laser annealing and ion beam deposition equipment, the company is integral to manufacturing advanced semiconductors, including the high bandwidth memory essential for AI data centers. Orders and results came in well ahead of expectations as memory makers raced to add capacity, causing the stock to more than double in three months. Consistent with our discipline, we trimmed the position repeatedly throughout the quarter as the position size grew. Veeco remains a holding at an appropriate, defensible, weight.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 17, 2026 | View Pitch |
