IPG Photonics (IPGP) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
IPG Photonics Corp reported an 18% year-over-year revenue growth when adjusting for the disposal of its Russian business and a small acquisition, indicating strong underlying performance. The company's gross margin improved to 38.6%, surpassing guidance and reflecting effective cost management and operational efficiency, while emerging growth products contributed significantly, accounting for 48% of total sales in Q4. Despite some challenges in specific sectors, the firm’s strategic focus on expanding into under-penetrated markets such as laser welding and medical applications suggests a robust long-term growth trajectory.
Bears say
IPG Photonics Corp reported a significant year-over-year revenue decline of 22% in Q4, driven by subdued demand in industrial and e-mobility markets, resulting in full-year revenues of $977 million, a decrease of 24% compared to the previous year. The company experienced an adjusted EPS loss of $4.09, falling short of consensus estimates and reflecting broader financial challenges, including lower gross margins that declined by 750 basis points year-over-year. Furthermore, management’s guidance for Q1 2025 suggests continued revenue weakness, with expectations indicating a lack of recovery in key markets before 2026, further contributing to a negative outlook for the stock.
