(Reuters) – Chipmaking equipment supplier BE Semiconductor (BESI) on Thursday forecast a drop in third-quarter revenue, citing current market conditions and seasonal trends.
The maker of semiconductor assembly and packaging equipment expects its revenue to fall by around 20-30% in the three months to September 30, from the 214 million euros ($218.75 million) it posted for the second quarter.
The group targets third-quarter gross margin in a 60-62% range against 61% in the April-June period.
