AML3D, Austal USA Deliver Portable Arcemy System to US Navy Hub

By

-- AML3D (ASX:AL3), together with Austal's (ASX:ASB) US arm, Austal USA, completed the delivery of its first portable Arcemy system to the US Navy's Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Danville, Virginia, according to a Wednesday Australian bourse filing.

The system is built for quick deployment, enabling faster technology development and component production alongside existing large-scale Arcemy units, per the filing. Its portable design allows it to be reinstalled within just one to two days, which is significantly quicker than fixed systems.

The completion triggers the final payment of around AU$1.2 million order from Austal USA, the filing added.

AML3D's shares fell about 3% in recent Wednesday trade, while Austal's shares rose past 3%.

Research Alert: CFRA Downgrades Opinion On Shares Of Skyworks Solutions To Sell From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We keep our 12-month target price at $66, on P/E of 12x our CY 27 EPS view of $5.50, near historical forward averages. After better than feared Mar-Q results/Jun-Q guide, we raise our FY 26 (Sep.) EPS to $4.91 from $4.64 and keep FY 27 at $5.22. Our downgrade reflects our view of better investment opportunities elsewhere in the semiconductor industry despite SWKS's progress on diversification. Although Mar-Q results showed mobile business revenue holding up better than expected, we remain concerned about high exposure to low/no growth markets like smartphones, competitive pressures, and supply chain headwinds including memory bottlenecks and inflationary pressures. SWKS announced a major $1B+ Android design win, which should help diversify revenue away from Apple (60% of sales) and capture share in the premium Android tier, though we expect this to be a gradual tailwind through CY 30 rather than a near-term boost. We await regulatory updates from the pending Qorvo deal (entering Phase 2 in China).
