Management remarks
Call period: 2026 Q4 · 2026-07-29
Guidance: Timothy Archer: As we enter the second half of the year, we expect calendar 2026 wafer fab equipment spending or WFE to be in the low $150 billion range up from our prior outlook of $140 billion with upside bias.Demand and orders: Timothy Archer: As a result, we are winning leading-edge foundry logic customers at 2-nanometer and below and expanding Argos into a growing set of DRAM applications.Margins: Douglas Bettinger: We were pleased with our continued strong execution in the June quarter, resulting in our fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue, our highest quarterly gross margin in 20 years, record operating margin and record earnings per share.Analyst Q&A
Analyst James Schneider asked: That's fair enough. I understand. And then maybe just as a follow-up. You mentioned pricing being one of the factors that drove gross margin outperformance in the quarter. Can you speak to some of the factors that drove that? Management Douglas Bettinger answered: Pricing is always a component of what's been going on in addition to operational efficiency, that close to customer strategy I talked about, all these new products that we're bringing out, delivering better gross margin because it's solving more difficult technical challenges. All that contributes to what you're seeing us deliver in gross margin. And frankly, we will strive to continue to expand gross margin to that mid-50% level.管理层陈述

指引：蒂莫西·阿彻：随着我们进入下半年，我们预计2026日历年的晶圆制造设备（WFE）支出将处于1500亿美元低位区间，较此前预期的1400亿美元有所上调，且存在上行空间。需求与订单：蒂莫西·阿彻：因此，我们正在赢得2纳米及以下的前沿晶圆代工逻辑客户，并将Argos产品拓展至越来越多的动态随机存取存储器（DRAM）应用领域。利润率：道格拉斯·贝廷杰：我们对6月当季的持续强劲执行情况感到满意，该季度实现了连续四个季度的营收纪录、20年来最高季度毛利率、创纪录的营业利润率和每股收益。分析师问答
分析师詹姆斯·施奈德问道：你曾提到定价是本季度毛利率超预期的因素之一，能否谈谈相关驱动因素？管理层道格拉斯·贝廷格回答：定价始终是影响因素之一，此外还有运营效率、贴近客户的战略，以及我们推出的所有新产品——这些产品因解决更复杂的技术难题而拥有更高毛利率，所有这些都推动了当前的毛利率表现。我们将努力持续将毛利率提升至50%中段水平。This earnings research was prepared from company results, regulatory filings, financial statements, and earnings-call transcripts or official replays.
