Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Axcelis Technologies, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 51.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 19% a year, against analyst forecasts of 4%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.

Growth is tepid; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

Flags to be aware of: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
