(Reuters) -German chip systems manufacturer Aixtron reported a better than expected quarterly revenue on Thursday, citing increasing demand for datacom lasers particularly for AI centers.
The group's sales rose 4% to 137.4 million euros ($156.9 million) in the second quarter of 2025, at the upper end of its guided range of 120-140 million euros and above analysts' average estimate of 128.2 million euros in an LSEG poll.
