Kulicke and Soffa Industries stock (ISIN US5012421013) was last at USD 95.23 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026, down 2.75 percent from the prior close of USD 97.92. The latest market context follows fiscal Q3 revenue of USD 330.41 million and a sharper outlook for the September quarter.

Q3 revenue reaches USD 330.41 million

According to Benzinga, Kulicke and Soffa reported fiscal Q3 revenue of USD 330.41 million, up 123 percent from the same period a year earlier and 36.2 percent from the prior quarter. GAAP gross margin was 47.8 percent, while GAAP earnings per share reached USD 1.07 and non-GAAP earnings per share reached USD 1.20.

The operating picture was led by general semiconductor demand. Revenue in that end market rose 52.6 percent sequentially to USD 227.2 million, while memory shipments increased 8.8 percent sequentially to USD 34 million, according to the same fiscal Q3 earnings-call account published by Benzinga.

Q4 guidance points to USD 375 million

Management guided for fiscal Q4 revenue of USD 375 million, representing a 13.5 percent sequential increase, with gross margin of 48 percent. The guidance also calls for GAAP earnings per share of USD 1.29 and non-GAAP earnings per share of USD 1.42, as reported by Benzinga.

The company also maintained a fiscal 2026 target of more than USD 100 million in Advanced Solutions revenue. That segment includes thermal-compression bonding tools aimed at increasingly complex semiconductor packaging, while capacity expansion in Singapore is targeted for completion in the first fiscal half of 2027.
