FREMONT, Calif., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ACM Research, Inc. (\u201cACM\u201d) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced wafer-level packaging applications, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are off to a solid start in 2026, with revenue of $231 million, up 34% year-over-year, and shipments of $241 million, up 54% year-over-year. Growth in the quarter was driven by strong performance in ECP and advanced packaging applications, reflecting increasing customer adoption of our differentiated technologies in high performance applications,\u201d said Dr. David Wang, President and Chief Executive Officer of ACM. \u201cThis quarter, at Semicon China, we announced the ACM Planetary Family, a unified portfolio that reflects ACM\u2019s status as a global, multi-product company, serving a broad range of semiconductor manufacturing steps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Wang continued, \u201cWe expect 2026 to be a big year for new products at ACM. Our R&D over the past 5 years, together with our internal Lingang mini-line, is paying off with industry-leading offerings across several product categories enabling our global customers to solve their evolving production challenges. We expect incremental revenue contribution from Tahoe, single-wafer SPM and vertical furnace, and increased evaluations in our panel-level horizontal plating, low-pressure panel-level flux cleaning, track, and PECVD platforms. We are also taking additional steps to expand our capabilities in global markets, including the proposed Hong Kong listing of ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc., ACM\u2019s principal operating subsidiary (\u201cACM Shanghai\u201d) and the ramp-up of our Oregon facility later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are maintaining our 2026 revenue outlook for 21%-30% growth, supported by new product cycles, market share gains, and increasing engagement from global customers,\u201d Dr. Wang concluded, \u201cOur business has momentum, our strategy is working, and we remain firmly committed to delivering world-class innovative solutions to meet current and future requirements across a broad and expanding global customer base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n Outlook<\/u>
\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

ACM is maintaining its revenue guidance range of $1.08 billion to $1.175 billion for fiscal year 2026. This expectation is based on ACM management\u2019s current assessment of the continuing impact from international trade policy, together with various expected spending scenarios of key customers, supply chain constraints, and the timing of acceptances for first tools under evaluation in the field, among other factors.<\/p>\n
