The Taiwan rate cut is nice, but of course the fabs need customers too, not just capital.

A lot of the Taiwanese fabs are foundries, and these are highly cyclical since some semiconductor makers rely on foundries to handle extra production beyond their in-house capacity.

As a supplier of capital goods to a highly-cyclical customer, you might expect Asyst is very very cyclical.
