On the 24th, Samsung Securities maintained a target price of 240,000 KRW and a buy rating for Park Systems, describing it as a "company to buy during the adjustment phase."

Ryu Hyung-geun, a researcher at Samsung Securities, stated, "I believe the foundation for sustained high growth over the next three years is sufficiently established," adding, "The company has secured a portfolio capable of responding to major semiconductor technology changes and possesses the potential to continuously expand the overall market through strengthened research and development capabilities."

Low wafer throughput has often been highlighted as a limitation of atomic force microscopes. However, the rate of increase in wafer throughput has been steeper than previously expected, and it is estimated that research and development is currently underway on new equipment that significantly increases throughput compared to the existing NX series.

While the equipment was primarily used as review tools in inspection and metrology rooms, it is considered an opportunity to expand the market scope through inspections as well.

The customer base for EUV mask repair equipment is expanding, and entry into new customers with strong purchasing power is analyzed to act as a catalyst to increase the growth slope.

The role of atomic force microscopes in post-processes such as hybrid bonding and silicon interposer processes is becoming clearer, and it is believed that orders from major customers are continuing. Researcher Ryu said, "As testing demand from more customers continues, the effect of expanding the post-process base will soon contribute significantly to profits."
