@2victorspoils I liked Auros for higher upside since theyβre part of SK Hynix/Samsung Hbm4 hybrid bonding related roadmaps at ~$280mz Over in Japan, Towa was a bit of a more boring but monopolistic compounder. As the ones Iβve posted about so far. Thereβs a lot more, Iβll sharβ¦
Thesis: Auros is positioned for higher upside due to involvement in SK Hynix/Samsung HBM4 hybrid bonding roadmaps with ~$280m revenue; Towa is a monopolistic compounder in the same space.
Towa is a functional monopoly that is flat despite HBM4 capex spend, making it a good trade for upcoming earnings on May 10.
source βTOWA remains a critical chokepoint in the semiconductor packaging process, even with the advent of hybrid bonding and HBM5, making it a must-have stock.
source βHyperscaler capex increases, particularly from SK Hynix, Micron, and Samsung, will flow upstream to TOWA. MSSCORP is more nuanced as CPO is not yet volume ramped.
source βVIAV and FORM earnings beat strongly, indicating robust demand for memory/test/yield equipment, which is bullish for upstream inspection and test companies like ONTO, CAMT, TOWA, KEYS, and potentially downstream optics players.
source βTOWA is a largely forgotten beneficiary of the new HBM4 memory cycle, with a monopoly in compression molding processes, set to be re-rated due to capex hikes from memory makers.
source βPotential 80%-100% re-rating for TOWA as it is a sleeper beneficiary of HBM4 spend from major memory makers, though cyclical.
source βTowa is a steady compounder benefiting from unavoidable capex inflows from memory makers due to its monopoly status, especially during memory cycles.
source βTowa's 1.6T optical less mass production has started and ASIC test segment is growing; management likely sandbagging earnings.
