Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openKulicke & Soffa announced on October 13, 2026, that it received the 2026 SEMI Award for North America for its fluxless thermocompression bonding technology, an industry honor recognizing technical contributions to semiconductor manufacturing.
On CNBC's Mad Money Lightning Round, Jim Cramer said Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) is a 'terrific' company, but he still prefers Lam Research (LRCX) as his top pick and Applied Materials (AMAT) as his second choice in the chip equipment space.
Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) shares are up 93.6% over the past year, and the article attributes the gain to demand from AI chipmakers, growth in advanced chip packaging, strong recent earnings, rising analyst estimates, and its thermo-compression bonding (TCB) tools acting as a further catalyst. It is framed as an investor's evaluation of whether to buy the stock now.
KLIC has risen 93.6% over the past year. The article attributes the gain to AI demand, growth in advanced packaging (the technology that connects chips inside a package), strong earnings, rising analyst estimates, and what it calls a TCB catalyst.
Kulicke and Soffa (K&S) said AI demand is spreading into more types of chips, pushing 2026 orders for its wire bonding equipment toward a record high, while the company expands its advanced packaging business into TCB (a solder-free chip-to-chip bonding method), CPO and CoPoS technologies.
