Kulicke and Soffa's Q2 Outlook Lifts Shares Despite Slumping EPS

Kulicke and Soffa Industries reported Q1 FY26 results with sales rising to $199.63 million, but net income fell to $16.8 million and GAAP diluted EPS to $0.32. Despite this, the company issued strong Q2 guidance, calling for $230 million in revenue and higher EPS, reinforcing near-term demand as a key catalyst. However, the share price has already run hard, and investors should weigh the recent insider selling and patchy profitability.
