Chip Equipment Makers Shine All Over

"Nova Measuring Instruments' (NVMI) action is a bit sloppier than ASML's, but not so much so that you would pass it by.

Nova has been consolidating around its 10-week line for seven weeks. The result so far is an undefined base.

This pattern, the Israeli company's tiny $249 million market cap, and the stock's somewhat low average daily volume of 315,000 shares are negatives against Nova.

But Nova's sales have boomed between 77% and 179% in the past five quarters. EPS surged 238% and 115% in the latest two reports.

After-tax margin in the past three quarters, 24%, 30% and 28%, was far better than anything else in the past few years.

Nova's systems are integrated into process-equipment tools or used as stand-alone metrology platforms for chipmakers.

Nova enjoys a 92 Relative Price Strength Rating, compared with ASML's 80."
