On February 27, 2026, President & CFO Eric Rivera guided investors to expect fiscal Q2 non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.49 to $0.55 and operating margins of 22% to 24%. Rivera acknowledged that the Company operates with only 1-to-3 weeks of backlog visibility. The guidance did not quantify known cost headwinds, including accelerated depreciation tied to end-of-life tool purchases and rising capital expenditures. CEO George Macricostas told investors the Company was \"optimistic\" that \"high-end strength will continue\" to offset seasonal effects from Chinese New Year.<\/p>

When Q2 results arrived on May 28, 2026, non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.42 -- well below the low end of the projected range. Revenue of $209.9 million landed beneath the Company's prior quarterly expectations for $212 to $220 million. PLAB shares fell approximately 30% in a single session.<\/p>
