About Kulicke and Soffa Industries (NASDAQ:KLIC) Stock

Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of capital equipment and tools used to assemble semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits (“ICs“), high and low powered discrete devices, light-emitting diodes (“LEDs“), and power modules. The firm operates through the Capital Equipment, and Aftermarket Products and Services (APS) segments. The Capital Equipment segment is affected by the industry's internal cyclical and seasonal dynamics in addition to broader macroeconomic factors that can positively or negatively affect company financial performance. The APS segment is more directly tied to semiconductor unit consumption rather than capacity requirements and production capability improvements. The company was founded by Frederick W. Kulicke and Albert Soffa in 1951 and is headquartered in Fort Washington, PA.

Is Graphite the New Lithium?
Did you know that graphite (NOT lithium) is the largest component of lithium batteries used for EV's? Unfortunately, there are no graphite-producing mines in North America today. This leaves the U.S. at the mercy of China for our vital graphite supply.
