Is ACM Research, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACMR) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating ACM Research, Inc. at current levels.
China's answer to Lam Research is no longer a curiosity, it's a national champion with a US listing the market keeps mispricing.
Where ACMR is headed
ACM Research sits in a strange spot for a US-listed company. Its operating subsidiary in Shanghai is being treated by Beijing as a strategic asset in the most important industrial fight of the decade, the race to replicate every wet cleaning, plating, and PECVD tool that Applied Materials, Lam, and Tokyo Electron used to sell freely into China. By late 2027, on the trajectory the order book is already mapping, ACMR is plausibly running at a $3.2-3.5B revenue rate with wet cleaning share inside China north of 30%, and a meaningful first crack at international customers in Korea and the US through the SK Hynix and pilot Intel relationships that have been building for years.
