Park Systems

A world leader in atomic force microscope (AFM) metrology, which non-destructively measures nanoscale surfaces and defects. It has developed new metrology tools for hybrid bonding slated for next-generation HBM manufacturing, with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix driving commercialization. As HBM stacking and hybrid bonding shrink, the demand for inspection precision rises and Park Systems' tool adoption grows — a metrology chokepoint of the advanced-packaging cycle.

YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance

The thesis is how much Park Systems pre-empts HBM and hybrid-bonding metrology demand. AFM catches nanoscale defects non-destructively, so as HBM stacking and hybrid bonding shrink, inspection-precision requirements rise and adoption of its new metrology tools grows. With Samsung and SK hynix driving commercialization, its memory customers move ahead of its own stock — a leading setup. But with revenue concentrated in a few memory customers and specific tools, earnings swing sharply with adoption timing and the fab-capex cycle.

Weak Q1 is a shipment-timing effect concentrated in Q2+, with H2 recovery expected; new tools (NX-TSH, hybrid WLI) and resumed non-memory capex are positives. KRW334,000 target.
