What AMTECH SYSTEMS INC does
Amtech Systems provides equipment, consumables, and services for semiconductor device packaging, wafer production, and device fabrication. Its thermal processing solutions include conveyorized reflow ovens for advanced packaging and high-temperature furnaces, while its fabrication solutions include CMP consumables, wafer cleaning systems, and polishing equipment. The company serves global semiconductor manufacturers, including those producing GPUs for AI, silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, and automotive electronics.
Recent developments
In August 2026, the company reported strong Q3 fiscal 2026 results driven by a 25% year-over-year revenue increase in its Thermal Processing Solutions segment, fueled by AI-related demand. The company noted that AI-related revenue grew approximately 120% year-over-year in the quarter, though this was partially offset by weaker demand in its Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions segment.

How AMTECH SYSTEMS INC looks technically
AMTECH SYSTEMS INC (ASYS) is trading 1.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 13 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day high about 5 trading days ago. It is 37.0% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
9
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 1.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend | +1.8% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $15.49 | $15.49 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $15.92 | $15.92 |
| Swing structure | each recent peak has been lower than the one before it and each dip deeper — the pattern chart-watchers call a downtrend, which describes where price has already been and not where it goes next | lower highs and lower lows |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 23 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 23 sessions |
| Wave structure | its recent swings can be read as a completed three-part downward correction — a pullback in the A-B-C shape Elliott-wave chartists use; the labelling fails if price closes below 13.34. It is the only labelling that fits, though not with textbook proportions, and it describes the swings already printed, not what comes next. | possible three-wave downward correction, complete (atypical proportions) |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 13 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 13 sessions |
| Above the 200-day after a dip | it recently dipped to its 200-day average (the long-term trend line) and has since climbed back above it — now about 1.8% above | +1.8% |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | there is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 17, below the 25 that marks a real trend) | 17.3 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 51, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 51.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading around the middle of its 14-day range ($14.29 to $18.25) — its "stochastic" reading is 48 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 48.5 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in positive territory (momentum leaning bullish) | 14 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $25.71 | $25.71 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 37.0% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -37.0% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 140.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +140.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 37.0% below its highest point of the past year | 37.0% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day high about 5 trading days ago | 5 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day high about 5 trading days ago | 5 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $30.80 (set on 2011-02-09) | $30.80 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($7.05 to $23.99), and it has given back around half of its rise from last year’s low — 46% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $12.98 to $13.52. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 45.9% |
| From the all-time high | it is 47.4% below its all-time high | -47.4% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 0.7% above a support level at $16.10 — a price it turned at twice since 2026-05-04, most recently on 2026-08-27. Since 2024-10-08 it has 12 such levels below the current price and 4 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | -0.7% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $2.25 (set on 2008-11-21) | $2.25 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 620.4% above its all-time low | +620.4% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are wider than usual versus its own recent 6-month history (wider than about 73% of it) | 73rd percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.8112 between its high and its low — about 5.0% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.8112 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $12.90 and $18.61 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $12.90 – $15.75 – $18.61 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 5.0% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 5.0% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 0.4 daily ranges above its 200-day average price (1.8% above it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 0.4 daily ranges above its 200-day average |

Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 2.3% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | -2.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.3% below the previous close today and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 17.6 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -2.3% |
| Gap filled | a 2.3% gap down opened on 2026-10-07 has been "filled" 1 session ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 1 session ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed lower 4 sessions in a row, a -9.99% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 sessions down |

| vs market, 1 month | over the past 1 month this stock beat the market by 3.6 percentage points (the stock gained 4.6% while the market gained 1.0%) | +3.6% |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 3 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: trading above its 200-day average, MACD momentum is positive, outperforming the market over 6 months — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 3 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 1 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it is currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 1 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading inside the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the zone traders read as unresolved — neither side has established a trend, and the band is where that gets settled. The band itself is thick, spanning 20.5% of the share price, which is taken to mean a barrier that has held for a while and takes effort to cross. | 0.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 3% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $16.73 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -3.1% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 5% above the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is showing a gain. That average is $15.41 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 46 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | +5.2% |
Price levels it has turned at before
ASYS last closed at $16.21 on 2026-10-08. Since 2024-10-08 it has turned at 12 prices below its last close and 4 above; the 3 nearest below and the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
Its recent swings can be read as a three-part downward correction — the A-B-C shape chartists use for a pullback — now complete.
This labelling fails — stops being a possible reading at all — if it closes below $13.34.
It is the only labelling that fits these swings, though its proportions are not the textbook ones.
This reading has stood for 17 trading days, since 2026-09-16.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing (2026-08-05) includes results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025; older filing (2026-05-07) covers the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
- Newer filing (2026-08-05) adds a narrative sentence: 'Our Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions results for the third quarter and for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 decreased primarily due to lower shipments of our polishing and wafer cleaning equipment, and lower demand for our consumables.'
- Newer filing (2026-08-05) adds orders and backlog tables for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, including new order amounts (e.g., Thermal Processing Solutions $24,279 and $57,478; Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions $4,521 and $13,125; total new orders $28,800 and $70,603).
- Removed:
- Older filing (2026-05-07) includes narrative for the six months ended March 31, 2026 stating Thermal Processing Solutions decreased primarily due to lower belt furnace and horizontal diffusion furnace shipments, partially offset by higher shipments of reflow ovens and parts; this six-month narrative is not present in the newer filing.
- Older filing (2026-05-07) includes narrative for the second quarter Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions increase due to increased shipments of polishing and wafer cleaning equipment and increased demand for consumables; this second-quarter narrative is not present in the newer filing.
- Older filing (2026-05-07) contains the description: 'Our Thermal Processing Solutions results for the second quarter increased primarily due to higher belt furnace, reflow oven diffusion furnace, and part shipments as well as an increase in our service business.' This wording is not in the newer filing.
- Reworded:
- Older filing (2026-05-07) refers to 'our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K")'; newer filing (2026-08-05) refers to 'our 2025 Form 10-K'.
- Older filing (2026-05-07) states 'With Artificial Intelligence (AI), we believe...'; newer filing (2026-08-05) states 'With AI, we believe...'.
- Older filing (2026-05-07) states 'Semiconductor Fabrications Solutions business'; newer filing (2026-08-05) states 'Semiconductor Fabrication Solutions business'.
- Older filing (2026-05-07) states 'advanced packaging SPG reflow oven business due to AI chip demand'; newer filing (2026-08-05) states 'advanced packaging semiconductor packaging group reflow oven business driven by AI chip demand'.
- Newer filing (2026-08-05) states Thermal Processing Solutions third quarter increase was 'primarily due to higher reflow oven and diffusion furnace revenue'; this replaces older filing's second quarter description (higher belt furnace, reflow oven diffusion furnace, and part shipments).
- Newer filing (2026-08-05) states Thermal Processing Solutions nine-month increase was 'primarily due to higher shipments of reflow ovens and parts in addition to an increase in our service business'; older filing (2026-05-07) described the six-month result as a decrease primarily due to lower belt furnace and horizontal diffusion furnace shipments.
- Notes:
- The newer filing excerpt is truncated mid-sentence in the Orders and Backlog section ('Jun...'), so the full backlog comparison could not be assessed.
- Older filing text is also truncated at the end of the new orders table, limiting full comparison of the orders and backlog sections.
- Because the two filings cover different fiscal periods (third quarter/nine months vs. second quarter/six months), numerical changes largely reflect different reporting periods rather than revisions to previously reported figures.

reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 5 increased, 0 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
ASYS had 1,590,376 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
ASYS had 9.08% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 5.65 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 1,590,376
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 9.08%
- Prior settlement (shares) 1,620,881
- Reported change -1.88%
- Days to cover (reported) 5.65
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
