Bear CaseDownside scenario
$461.0018%

Revenue falls below the Q3 guidance floor as semiconductor demand, customer-order timing, trade restrictions, supply-chain constraints or regional disruption outweigh advanced-node and packaging momentum.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$532.0058%
Matches the consensus mean

Nova delivers Q3 revenue within its $277 million-$287 million guidance range and sustains profitable growth through advanced logic and packaging demand.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$600.0024%

Nova exceeds the $287 million upper end of Q3 revenue guidance as Gate-All-Around, advanced packaging, memory and chemical-metrology adoption produce continued share gains and broad-based demand.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
