Photronics: Pull-Back On Soft Near-Term Demand Creates Long-Term Buying Opportunity
Significant revenue and profit growth between 2020 and 2023 drove the stock price above the $30-mark earlier this year. Following several earnings misses caused by softer than expected photomask demand in 2024, PLAB stock is down close to -30% YTD. Mid- and longer-term growth and profitability trends seem to be intact, as Photronics is well positioned to capitalize on secular tailwinds.
