DUV Laser Stocks from the Bull Sector: Semiconductor Circuit Designs are growing ever smaller demanding extremely high resolution to project circuit designs on Silicon Wafers. Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) Lasers are emerging as an important technology allowing companies to reach smaller resolution levels. Presently only three companies make DUV laser: Cymer (CYMI), Coherent (COHR) division Lambda Physik and Komatsu (KMTUY). DUV technology produces less than 25% of the wafer layers today but those numbers are expected to rapidly increase. You might want to check back with our broad based Semiconductor List. finance.yahoo.com I picked up this research note on Friday about Cymer: 8:55AM Cymer (CYMI) 32.12: Morgan Stanley says CYMI is possibly the best revenue andearnings power story this cycle with the beginning of the "golden age" of DUV lithography; firm ups price target to $50 from $35, but says that with earnings power of $4.00 or more, a $100 stock price target is possible After quickly looking at the chart I found the stock too overbought to chase. So I got to looking over the limited world of DUV Laser companies and found Coherent may offer equally good potential for gains during this cycle: wsrn.com coherentinc.com I would consider COHR a good buy at 27.50 and CYMI at 25 so they need to fall a bit to offer safer entry points in my opinion. I have no position in either stock. I just wanted to open up some discussion on DUV Laser stocks if anyone knows something about other companies involved with this technology I am all ears. RtS
