Riber designs and produces molecular beam epitaxy systems and evaporator sources and cells for the semiconductor industry. This equipment is essential for the manufacturing of compound semiconductor materials that are used in numerous high-growth applications.
Investment summary
Riber is the global leader in MBE equipment which is used to develop and manufacture compound semiconductor materials used in fibre-optic networks, electronic device displays and sensors for autonomous vehicles. Demand should be supported by exposure to key trends such as demand for faster data, next generation displays and the proliferation and evolution of sensors to support greater automation and intelligence. The shares trade at a substantial discount to Riber’s larger peers who share similar growth drivers.

Industry outlook
While FY18 profitability was affected by several one-off factors, management is confident of a full recovery in FY19. This is based on the strength of the end March order book, with 14 MBE machines already scheduled for delivery during FY19 and FY20 compared with deliveries of seven units in FY18 and five in FY17. Some of these units are destined for volume production of fibre-optic chips in Asia and in Europe, which is rising, necessitating more capacity. Others will be used for R&D, where demand for MBE equipment is steady.
