Wolfspeed’s margins fall further while 200mm SiC device fab ramp-up lags
Wolfspeed reported FY2023 revenue growth of 24% to $921.9M, driven by strength in materials and power devices. However, the company's margins continued to decline, and the ramp-up of its 200mm SiC device fab is proceeding slower than planned. Bearish: Persistent margin compression and fab ramp delays signal potential future supply constraints and cost pressures for SiC components, which could impact spot market pricing and availability.

NUBURU more than doubles revenue in Q2 to $1.1m
NUBURU reported Q2 2023 revenue of $1.05 million, more than doubling sequentially from $0.47 million and up sharply from $0.04 million a year ago. The increase was driven by product deliveries to commercial customers Essentium and GE Additive. Watch: The significant revenue growth signals rising demand for its industrial blue lasers, which could tighten supply for related components, but the financial scale remains small for broad market impact.
