Try FN2 freeCompared to the prior quarter (FY2026 Q2): Quarterly revenue set a new record at $5.84B, a 24% year-over-year increase, surpassing the top end of prior guidance. Gross margin guidance improved from approximately 49% to 50.5%. The Customer Support Business Group posted its first $2 billion-plus quarter. Advanced packaging growth guidance was raised from over 40% to over 50% for 2026. Lam raised its WFE market estimate to $140 billion with an upside bias. A next-generation Dextro cobot was announced with 10x compute power in a smaller footprint, with the first deposition-product shipment scheduled. Capital returns accelerated, with $800M in buybacks, $750M in debt retirement, and $326M in dividends, totaling 139% of free cash flow returned to shareholders.
Management maintained June-quarter guidance of $6.6 billion plus or minus $400 million in revenue and 50.5% plus or minus 1 percentage point gross margin. This represents a step up from the prior quarter's March guidance of $5.7 billion plus or minus $300 million and approximately 49% gross margin. Guidance sentiment was maintained, reflecting confidence in continued AI-driven demand. Capex is expected to remain at 4-5% of revenue to fund growth initiatives.
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
