Kulicke and Soffa Industries Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLIC#NASDAQ">KLIC</a>) shares were rising in early trading on Friday, after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KLIC">shedding more than 5% this week</a>.
While reporting earnings, the company announced an order for fluxless TCB from "the world&#8217;s leading foundry," which could be chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), according to Needham.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Analyst </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/60ed6112b473c600014bf1c9/charles-shi">Charles Shi</a> upgraded the rating for Kulicke and Soffa Industries from Hold to Buy, while establishing a price target of $55.
The Kulicke and Soffa Industries Thesis: Given in order, the company expects TCB revenues to grow by 40%-50% year-on-year in 2025, Shi said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Kulicke and Soffa Industries is expected to generate TCB revenues of around $55 million in 2024, which could now reach as much as $80 million next year, "beating our $70MM estimate by about $10MM," he added.
Rival ASMPT is likely to have failed the TCB qualification at Taiwan Semiconductor and its management said during the third-quarter earnings call that TCB evaluation at the leading foundry "may take another year," the analyst stated.
"To us, the fact that KLIC is already qualified and shipping while ASMPT still has not closed the evaluation means that KLIC has won," he further wrote.
KLIC Price Action: Shares of Kulicke and Soffa Industries rose by 2% to $46.52 at the time of publication on Friday.

Kulicke &amp; Soffa's recently released APTURA&#x2122; FTC system, combined with technology innovations from ROHM, have successfully enhanced chip-to-wafer hybrid bonding with the innovative copper-first – CuFirst&#x2122;&nbsp;– hybrid solution. While existing die-to-wafer hybrid bonding capacity can enable significant I/O density – yield challenges, cost of ownership, and front-end processing requirements are limiting the adoption rate and market potential of existing hybrid solutions.
The CuFirst hybrid solution, utilizing the K&amp;S APTURA FTC platform, addresses these production limitations and challenges. With the emerging CuFirst process, the copper interconnect is bonded first – leveraging the APTURA platform's FTC capability – then the dielectric (SiOx) connection is made once the device returns to room temperature. This CuFirst process is expected to support higher yields, lower infrastructure costs and better cost of ownership compared to conventional die-to-wafer hybrid bonding. In addition to CuFirst hybrid, the APTURA FTC system also supports traditional flux- and fluxless-based thermo-compression bonding (TCB), including the direct bonding of copper-to-copper pillars – down to an 8µm pitch. This system can also accommodate die-to-die, die-to-substrate, or die-to-wafer configurations comprehensively addressing a broad range of material handling and end-application requirements.

Kulicke &amp; Soffa continues to actively expand its customer base with APTURA&#x2122;&nbsp;– the most advanced Fluxless Thermo-Compression (FTC) system available, and the first to support FTC in a production environment. Today, Kulicke &amp; Soffa has delivered over 30 FTC systems supporting development and production activities across five separate end customers.
The Company's leading APTURA&#x2122;&nbsp;FTC system:
<ul>
<li>Is production-proven – K&amp;S is first to enable high-volume FTC in production environment.</li>
<li>Supports a wide range of material configurations – source wafer, reel, or tray; to a target wafer, interposer, die or substrate – capable of supporting all die-to-die, or die-to-wafer based applications, in production.</li>
<li>Extends pitch capabilities – APTURA&#x2122;&nbsp;FTC platform enables ultra-fine pitch direct Cu-to-Cu bonding down to 8µm, as well as capable of supporting CuFirst, which is expected to scale down towards 3µm pitch.</li>
</ul>
Prior to Kulicke &amp; Soffa's innovations in FTC, traditional thermo-compression solutions – requiring both flux and solder – are pitch limited down to approximately 30µm, which previously limited adoption in leading-edge logic devices. Today, the growing adoption of FTC across a broadening set of IDM, OSAT and now Foundry customers is a testament to the future potential of this innovative technology, and the Company's leadership through this exciting transition.
Strong ongoing demand for FTC development is directly related to the growing value of Advanced Packaging techniques throughout the semiconductor assembly market. These solutions provide a new level of industry value with the potential to lower design cost, reduce yield challenges and enable new levels of transistor density at the package level. During fiscal year 2025, K&amp;S anticipates its TCB business will grow by 40-50% sequentially, driven by broadening adoption in leading-edge compute, optical, communications and industrial markets.
