Is ACLS a Hidden Gem in the Semiconductor Sell-Off?While the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq are making or nearing all-time highs, many components of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) have been selling off for months. Historically, these levels have been great buying opportunities, but I can’t help wondering if there are issues we don’t know about yet that are already priced in.
I went shopping today and picked up some semiconductor stocks that have been beaten down. First on the list is ACLS. It’s down over 60% from its all-time high of $200 a share back in July 2023 and more than 50% off its 52-week high of $157 set back this July.
What’s interesting here is that this company has a consistent track record of beating earnings expectations for the past 26 quarters!! and its margins have been growing steadily over the last four years. So, the question is: is the stock price signaling some issues we’re not aware of, or is this a great buying opportunity?
I am in at $77.60 small size.
