Double-digit growth of semiconductor business

“All signs point to another year of solid growth for Camtek, driven by continued double-digit growth of our semiconductor business. The first quarter, which includes the Chinese New Year, is typically the weakest one of the year. However, this year, we expect a strong first quarter with revenues at around, or possibly slightly better than, the fourth quarter levels, representing year-over-year growth of 20%.”

During the conference call, Amit said (transcripted by Seeking Alpha) the company grows with its market. “Camtek’s semiconductors growth trend is due in part to the market segments we serve, which are growing well ahead of the general market. These segments include: advanced packaging, MEMS, RF and CMOS Image Sensors. We see strength in all of the segments we operate. The advanced packaging is strong, but the CMOS image sensor is very strong especially to the fact that are now three high end cameras in each of the phones coming out. The average market is very strong due to the good mobile market. So, overall, all of our customers and in all of the segments are very strong.”
