Camtek Ltd
A maker of high-end inspection and metrology systems that chip manufacturers use to spot tiny defects on wafers during semiconductor production. Founded in 1987 in Migdal HaEmek, Israel, Camtek got its start building optical inspection machines for printed circuit boards before pivoting to the far more demanding world of chip wafer inspection. Its name blends "Cam" (for computer-aided manufacturing) with "Tek" (short for technology), and the company still sells in dozens of countries around the world.

fell 57.2% to $50.7M even as rose to a record $496.1M. Revenue increased 15.6% to $496.1M and widened 1.5 points to 50.5%, but dropped 57.0% to $1.04 as the U.S. dollar weakened 13% against the NIS and raised costs. The company ends 2025 with higher sales but a compressed bottom line and new geopolitical and demand-concentration risks.
Interest-rate risk is minimal with no outstanding loans; primary exposure is NIS/USD currency fluctuation, with a 1% move impacting net income by $147k.
Camtek's FY2025 risk factors center on AI-demand concentration, China/Asia-Pacific exposure, Middle East conflict, and evolving trade restrictions.
Camtek provides high-end inspection and metrology systems for the semiconductor industry, focusing on Advanced Packaging and the back-end-of-line.
