(press release) " (7/5/2017)
• 2. Supply Chain Market Research LLC analysts commented, "We see little to change our view on Orbotech. In fact we have seen more announcements concerning large format LCD fabs than expected, while OLED continues to expand at a rapid pace. The PCB space is also seeing continued growth as mobile devices demand more complex and smaller boards, where ORBK’s expertise lies. While the weakness in the semi business is a concern, the company believes that full year semi segment growth will exceed industry growth and cited 10% semi capex growth and strong RF filter demand from China as a basis. While the longer-term picture remains increasingly positive, we lower our full year revenue estimate from $881.2m to $874.4m to reflect the more heavily backend loaded year, as the risk of delivery delays pushing revenue into 2018 is a bit higher, but we make no changes to our 2017 EPS estimate, and our price target, based on 12x 2017 + net cash (12 x 2.82 + $3.06 = $36.9) moves from $36 to $37, primarily on the increase in net cash."
