SFP – Scaling new high via multi-pronged approach.
This clear winner from the USChina trade diversion could continue to chart new highs in its orderbook on a cyclical recovery of the semiconductor sector in 2H23.
While 1H was a seasonally weaker period for SFP, the group charted a record 1Q23 thanks to the first article of production business contribution from its new trade-diversion related customers which was reflected in its mechanical assembly segment.
Much higher volume ramp-up could follow through with more first articles being qualified for mass production.
The group is now expecting 50% sales growth (from 30%) thanks to the strong traction from its new AVL business flowthrough.
SFP is currently in talks with a few new prospects which could require addition of
new capacity.
