Onto's AI packaging boom drives record results and a $720M strategic bet

  • Advanced packaging revenue to grow over 50% in 2026 Onto said its advanced packaging revenue should grow more than 50% in 2026, powered by AI computing demand. Its Dragonfly G5 inspection system is qualified at a major 2.5D logic customer, with shipments ahead of plan and a pipeline of 15+ applications across 10+ customers.

    This is the core demand driver behind Onto's accelerating growth and explains why the stock is moving.

  • Record Q2 revenue, $1B backlog, raised Q3 outlook Onto reported record Q2 revenue of $343.1 million, up 35% year over year, with earnings per share of $1.93 and gross margin widening to 57%. Backlog topped $1 billion for the first time, and Q3 guidance of $380–400 million came in well above prior levels.

    This is the latest hard financial proof that the AI-driven demand is translating into accelerating sales and profits.

  • Peer results and NVIDIA's $500B AI push lift sector Onto shares jumped 6% after peer Camtek posted record results and NVIDIA announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure financing partnership. Camtek's bookings exceed $600 million into 2027, signaling strong demand for the metrology and inspection tools used in AI memory and chiplet packaging.

    It shows the broader AI infrastructure spending wave is still expanding, directly benefiting Onto's end markets.

  • Completes $720M Rigaku stake and $1.5B convertible raise Onto completed its $720 million purchase of a 27% stake in Rigaku to jointly develop next-generation X-ray process control, a roughly $1 billion market. It also raised $1.5 billion in zero-percent convertible notes, leaving $1.88 billion in cash and short-term investments.

    This strategic investment and strengthened balance sheet support future growth and technology leadership.

Shijia Photon's 2.8B yuan raise and 45% profit jump ride AI optical demand

  • 2.8 billion yuan private placement for optical chip capacity Shijia Photon plans to raise up to 2.8 billion yuan by selling new shares, funding high-speed AWG chips, laser chips and optical interconnect parts, plus working capital. This gives the company money to expand output for AI data centers, supporting future sales and earnings growth.

    It is the period's biggest company-specific capital action and directly funds growth capacity.

  • First-half profit up 45.3%, revenue up 50.66% First-half 2026 revenue reached 1.495 billion yuan, up 50.66%, with net profit of 315 million yuan, up 45.3%. Management said AI computing demand drove rapid data communications market growth and more orders than a year earlier, confirming the business is expanding fast.

    It is the clearest evidence that AI demand is already converting into actual sales and profit.

  • AI computing demand outruns supply, lifting optical names Domestic AI computing demand jumped 417% year-on-year in early 2026 while supply grew only 128%, leaving high-end chips scarce and expensive. As an optical component supplier in that chain, Shijia Photon benefits from this shortage and the resulting rush to build AI infrastructure.

    It explains the broad industry force pushing demand toward Shijia Photon's products.

  • Semiconductor supply chain rally lifts STAR-listed shares A broad semiconductor rally, helped by HBM memory demand forecasts and new AI model releases, pushed Shijia Photon up 10-12% in a single session. This reflects strong investor appetite for AI-linked chip stocks, though such sharp daily swings can reverse quickly.

    It shows the market sentiment currently amplifying the stock, while noting the risk of fast reversals.
