GuruFocus Financial Strength Rank measures how strong a company’s financial situation is. It is based on these factors

1. The debt burden that the company has as measured by its Interest coverage (current year).
2. Debt to revenue ratio. The lower, the better
3. Altman Z-score.

A company ranks high with financial strength is likely to withstand any business slowdowns and recessions.

GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the company’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Aixtron SE formerly known as AIXTRON Aktiengesellschaft is a provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry. The company's technology solutions are used by a diverse range of customers worldwide to build advanced components for electronic and opto-electronic applications based on compound, silicon, or organic semiconductor materials. Such components are used in displays, signaling, lighting, fiber optic communication systems, wireless and mobile telephony applications, optical and electronic storage devices, computing, as well as a range of other leading-edge technologies. The company's business activities include developing, producing and installing equipment for coating semiconductor materials, process engineering, consulting and training, including ongoing customer support. It supplies to customers both full production-scale chemical vapor deposition systems and small scale systems for research and development use and small-scale production use. The company's product range includes customized production and research scale compound semiconductor systems capable of depositing material films on up to 95 × two-inch diameter wafers per single production run, or smaller multiples of 4 to 6 inch diameter wafers, employing Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) or organic thin film deposition on up to Gen. 3.5 substrates, including Polymer Vapor Phase Deposition (PVPD) or Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) applications or Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Phase Deposition (PECVD) for depositing complex Carbon Nanostructures (Carbon Nanotubes or Nanowires). It also manufactures full production and research scale deposition systems for silicon semiconductor market applications capable of depositing material films on wafers of up to 300 mm diameter, employing technologies such as: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Atomic Vapor Deposition (AVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). The company markets and sells its products worldwide, mainly through its direct sales organization and appointed dealers and sales and service representatives. The company's semiconductor market customers are mainly, but not exclusively, focused on device manufacturing of LEDs, wireless, optoelectronics, and data storage components.
