LPKF Laser & Electronics4/10Does he own it?
No first-person position statements anywhere: never says he is long, bought, added, or holds, and gives no weight. He frames it as a researched bottleneck idea and calls it "a long" thesis, plus he explicitly chose other names (AXTI, LPTH) from his screen. Bullish analytical coverage rather than disclosed ownership.
His thesis
LPKF is a Western semiconductor supply-chain bottleneck play via its LIDE glass-substrate / deep-etching technology. He argues markets misread the weak current earnings because it is a qualification-cycle business (like AEHR): trailing financials are irrelevant before volume ramps. The real driver is the H2 2026 start of production orders and 2027 mass production of glass core substrates, neither reflected in guidance, which he reads as a positive inflection.
How his view evolved
Started as one entry on a broad small-cap bottleneck research list. By the April earnings he went deeper, defending the stock against bearish reactions and reinforcing the volume-ramp/glass-substrate thesis as confirmed.
Key points
- LIDE glass-substrate tech positioned as a Western advanced-packaging bottleneck
- Treats it like a qualification-cycle name where trailing earnings don't matter
- Sees H2 2026 production orders and 2027 mass production as the catalyst, not in guidance
