  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($83.13). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (60/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Axcelis Technologies, Inc (ACLS) currently trades at $140.27, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $56.78, implying the stock looks roughly 59.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Axcelis Technologies, Inc generated revenue of $845M at a net margin of 11.9%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $103M. Fundamentals as of Jul 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $37.26 (bear case) to $83.13 (bull case); at $140.27, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 18% below its 52-week high and 119% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -75% fair-value upside, at -60%, ACLS screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
