Let’s see how things have shaped up for IPG Photonics prior to this announcement.

Factors to Consider

IPG Photonics expects the improving macroeconomic environment and recovery in capital spending, along with emerging trends like energy efficiency and sustainability, displacement of legacy lasers and increases in electric vehicle battery capacity, to drive demand for its laser solutions.

IPG Photonics’ efforts to expand into new end-markets like advanced applications (3D Printing and micro-materials processing), renewable energy, electric vehicle battery processing and systems, ultra-high-power cutting, and medical are likely to have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance. Strength in new solutions also holds promise.

Development of new medical applications utilizing fiber lasers for urological and dental procedures may have aided adoption of laser-based medical solutions. This, in turn, is likely to have driven second-quarter performance.

IPG Photonics is benefiting from solid demand in China and North America. Continued momentum in higher power products in core materials processing domain and strength in new solutions are expected to bolster the top line along with strength in fiber & diode lasers, fiber amplifiers and transceivers portfolio.

However, weaker demand trends for several product categories and stiff pricing competition are likely to have put pressure on IPG Photonics’ second-quarter performance.
