The direct impact of tariffs should be very limited for Photronics, and tariffs could even create a competitive edge for the company in the US market.

Seeking Alpha • Apr 22Photronics: Valuation Increasingly Attractive Despite Delayed Recovery Amidst Tariff ChaosSummary Down -25% YTD, PLAB is currently testing the $18 resistance level amidst global tariff and geopolitical uncertainties. The direct impact of tariffs should be very limited for Photronics, and tariffs could even create a competitive edge for the company in the US market. However, tariffs may slow down consumer electronics demand and industry investments in next-gen designs, likely reducing photomask demand near-term. Although we may not have seen the bottom, I reiterate my "Buy" rating for long-term oriented investors with an updated fair value of $28 (down from $36, reflecting delayed recovery).
