The 15-minute chart of Kulicke and Soffa Industries has exhibited Bollinger Bands Narrowing, coupled with a KDJ Death Cross at 08/20/2025 14:30.

Kulicke and Soffa Industries' 15-minute chart has recently exhibited a notable technical pattern that suggests a bearish trend. On August 20, 2025, at 14:30, the chart triggered a KDJ Death Cross, accompanied by Bollinger Bands Narrowing [1]. This combination of indicators points to a decrease in the magnitude of stock price fluctuations and a shift in momentum towards the downside, potentially signaling further decline.

The KDJ Death Cross, a technical indicator that combines the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), is a bearish signal. When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it indicates a potential reversal in the stock's trend. The Bollinger Bands Narrowing, which occurs when the bands tighten around the moving average, suggests that volatility is decreasing, often preceding a significant price move.

This technical analysis is supported by recent earnings guidance issued by Kulicke and Soffa Industries. The company provided earnings per share (EPS) guidance of $0.200-$0.240 for the fourth quarter of 2025, which is above the consensus estimate of $0.166. Additionally, the company expects revenue to range between $160.0 million and $180.0 million, slightly higher than the consensus revenue estimate of $159.2 million [1]. Despite these positive earnings expectations, the recent technical indicators suggest caution.

Several research firms have recently commented on Kulicke and Soffa Industries. Needham & Company LLC raised their target price on the company from $37.00 to $40.00 and gave it a "buy" rating [1]. TD Cowen increased their price target from $36.00 to $38.00 and assigned a "hold" rating, while DA Davidson reduced their target price from $60.00 to $55.00 but maintained a "buy" rating [1]. These upgrades and changes in target prices reflect the positive sentiment surrounding the company's recent performance and future prospects.

However, investors should remain cautious and conduct thorough due diligence before making any investment decisions. Technical indicators, such as the KDJ Death Cross and Bollinger Bands Narrowing, should be considered alongside fundamental analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of the company's financial health and market position.
