The thesis — preview.

Onto Innovation is the bump-inspection / metrology duopoly partner to Camtek, structurally cheaper on forward multiples, and the Rigaku 27% stake announcement plus the Q1 beat and the average sell-side PT of $352 (versus $271 spot) signals a 30% PT upside cushion that Camtek lacks at current levels. Onto operates across three semiconductor-equipment categories: bump and incoming-wafer inspection (the Dragonfly platform inherited from the 2019 Rudolph Technologies merger), in-die optical and X-ray metrology (the Atlas family of overlay and film-thickness measurement tools, plus the Iris XRD line for film stress and composition), and lithography systems for advanced packaging (the JetStep step-and-flash imprint lithography line for fan-out wafer-level packaging). The portfolio is broader than Camtek's pure HBM bump-inspection focus, with material exposure to fan-out packaging (Apple A-series, AMD chiplets), advanced photoresist metrology at TSMC and Samsung, and the front-end memory-process metrology business at Micron and SK Hynix.…
