Kulicke and Soffa Industries: Still Not Much To Be Excited About
Kulicke and Soffa Industries' latest guidance calls for the streak of quarterly revenue declines to continue, which negated the better-than-expected quarterly results. The latest report strengthens the probability the stock is likely going lower, especially with the stock in a downtrend. KLIC is optimistic the downturn has mostly run its course, but there is reason to believe the next upturn may not be like the previous ones, due to China.
