Camtek Ltd.
CAMT shares gained 20 percent Tuesday after posting second-quarter profits that were double Wall Street views.
Israeli-based Camtek, which makes automation equipment for electronics manufacturing and packaging, also told investors that its technology testing for a key pending product called Griphon bolsters confidence that the product will soon launch and start producing revenue in 2015.
Griphon, a 3D inkjet product for computer chip solder mask manufacturing, "will be the dominant technology in the printed circuit board industry for years to come," Chief Executive Rafi Amit said in a statement.
The company posted second-quarter earnings of $0.08 cents a share on revenue of $23.2 million. Year-earlier earnings were $0.01 cent on revenue of $22 million.
Analysts expected earnings of $0.04 cents on revenue of $23.5 million.
Small-cap Camtek is frequently volatile. For example, shares soared as much as 57 percent in a single day earlier this month on news of a product launch.
The company has also been something of a favorite of short sellers, with 1.4 of its 30.5 million shares held as short interest earlier this year. That number has since declined, however, to about a half-million shares.
Camtek traded recently at $4.11, up 19.68 percent.
