Frontier Capital Management, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Another underperformer was Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UCTT), a manufacturer of critical subsystems and services for semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers and semi fabs. While Ultra Clean’s December quarter results exceeded consensus expectations, its outlook for the March quarter disappointed due to product qualification delays at a top Chinese customer and weakening semiconductor equipment demand in China. Management expects the qualification delays to be resolved soon and still anticipates overall company sales to outpace semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) industry spending in 2025. Longer term, Ultra Clean is well positioned to gain market share through new design wins at top-tier semi cap equipment manufacturers.”
