Amazing. I've been away for a few months and I look back at this company. They're still not doing well. Anyone buying shares from Veeco, is a pure sucker.
Seems like no one is really interested in this stock. It's a dead beat stock. Pure SELL.
They can't even break even. Every quarter, they've been reporting a lost.

VECO has a strong SELL Rating across the board. They're bleeding red on the books. Who invests into a downfall company?
VECO is bleeding red on the books, both the new CEO and the chair sold their shares before the earnings call. In which they reported a HUGE loss.
Someone is pumping the stock pretty strong, but this company is a complete failure.
Anyone that buys into this overbought stock. Will lose out greatly.
Don't fall for the pump and dump scheme!
So far, the new CEO, old CEO / current Chairman and a senior executive sold shares before the earnings report that comes out soon.
Anyone else, thinks that's shady business? Why would they sell, before the earnings report? They most know, it's going to be a bad one.

Now the China Trade war heats up. Veeco most likely is going to report another loss and the stock is going to crash. Get ready folks. This is my prediction.
Looking through accounts on Linkedin. Seems like more and more people are leaving Veeco. Something is happening.
Why have several people left the company, within the last few months?
I wonder how much more can they bleed red on the books, till they file for bankruptcy?
CEO and the senior executive sells shares right before earnings report?? Sounds fishy to me.

I think that Veeco will not meet the QTR expectations. Also anyone notice that their own new CEO dumped shares along with one of their executives before the QTR reporting in Feb 2019?
There doesn't seem to be any real hope for Veeco.
Don't get fooled.. There's some GREAT NEWS coming, as the QTR ending reporting is nearing.
Expect some great news!
Load up on shares now and make some money.
Ignoring all the rubbish BS, brought to you by HEDGE funds that want to short the entire market.
Several insider purchases, restructuring, taking cost saving approaches, etc. Only thing missing is new product line and maybe that might be coming up soon! Like I said before. This should go back up to $20, without even new products
Don't miss out on the opportunity! Prices are low right now.
Do any of you guys follow the Linkedin, twitter, etc profile for Veeco? Tons of information on there.
It's funny seeing the hedge funds, work with the media. In regards pushing the scare tactics of "Trade Wars" with China.
What it comes down to. The trade wars BS, will blow over but VEECO is strong as ever.
Insider purchases, reduction in costs, etc.
All we need is new products and that will hopefully come out soon.
This stock without new products, should range around $20.
Buy now and hold!
There's still a lot of room for it to run. Jump in, while the price is still low. Make some money. Don't say, I didn't warn you.
Trade talks going on with China right now.
Veeco stock should ramp upwards towards the $20 range.
Once they get new products, it should go back up to $40.
Good time to buy!
Seems like another great day, for me to buy more shares at a cheaper price. Thanks to the panic market attacks today.
Veeco will ramp up soon, as there's a new CEO in Office.
More panic on the entire overall market. Veeco is solid. New CEO, insider purchases back to back, consolidation, controlling over all budget. I think there's going to be some solid news coming up and their QTR end reporting will be outstanding.
Take the opportunity to buy more shares. This will go up and over $18, rather quickly
Take advantage of the overall market condition. Great time to buy some shares and/or add more to your profile.
Great things coming down the pipeline.
The overall market is taking a beating right now, but that's good news for me.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm taking advantage of it and buying more shares. While the price is still cheap.
Should go back up to $20 without any new products. With new products rolled out around $40 and up.
Choice is yours, but this is my choice to take advantage of it.
Overall market is down right now, but Veeco has some great buying opportunities.
New CEO, back to back insider purchases recently.
Now we just need new products.
This should still go up to $20 a share, before new products are introduced.
With the insiders buying recently, several times over. I wonder what they know?!?
I'm going to buy some more shares, as I think this stock will continue to ramp upwards.
Veeco stock is ramping back upwards. Don't let the profit takers from penny flippers or shorts fool you.
This stock will go back up to at least $20 a share.
If new products roll out. Then it's back up to $40 a share.
Buy low, while you can. My friendly word of advise to you!
Another insider purchase on the open market. The CFO bought 5,000 shares on the open market. Several insiders are buying up shares. I wonder what good news is coming down the pipe!
If you're unsure about investing, then just take a look at all the senior management that bought tons of shares on the open market.
If they're not scare to buy, then why would you be?
Some food for thought!
Veeco is a pot of gold. Don't be fooled by the day to day drama of the market. Now's a nice time to buy and hold and get a very good return on your investment.
Looks like shorts are playing with fire with Veeco. They can roll out with new products anytime and things can fly afterwards.
The stock is way oversold, due to the overall market being down but now the market is slowing coming back. The Veeco stock will be soaring soon!
Veeco is one of the hottest company around. They've been around for years. This stock is way oversold. I'm sure there's some good news coming out soon. Maybe new products??
I've been following a few Veeco people and seems like they don't work for Veeco anymore.
Did Veeco lay off some people?
Seems like someone is trying to pump the stock up.
Did they hire a stock promotion company?
$2.50 drop before opening bell???
Management should be fired!
I think we'll hit a new all time low today.
This stock seems to be a joke. Management sucks and needs to be fired. It just keeps going down and down.
They have no new products and they're not making any attempt to get any new products.
People shorting this stock, seem to be the only ones making money.
Great buying opportunity now.
This stock is way oversold.
There's good news coming around the corner.
Time to buy and hold.
What a sinking ship. No new products, reported a HUGE loss last QTR.
The list of problems, goes on and on.
I wonder when they'll report bankruptcy!
When Veeco purchased Ultratech. The value of Ultratech dropped over 50%.
The total value of Veeco w/ Ultratech is 50% less for what Veeco paid in total for Ultratech.
They've reported loss after loss for each QTR.
No new products for Veeco.
This company is headed towards Chapter 11 quickly. I would stay FAR away from this company.
Don't say, I didn't warn you!
what a failure of a company!
Over $15M losses for last QTR.
Over 50% drop in share price, from when they bought Ultratech.
The management should be fired!
Why has no one talked about Veeco since 2013?!

Annual report:
"...We design, manufacture, market, and service a broad line of equipment primarily used by manufacturers in the data storage, HB-LED, solar, wireless, and semiconductor industries. These industries help create a wide range of information age products such as computer integrated circuits, personal computers, LEDs for backlighting and automotive applications, HDDs, solar panels, network servers, digital cameras, wireless phones, digital video recorders, personal music/video players, and personal digital assistants. Our broad line of products features leading edge technology and allows customers to improve time-to-market of their next generation products. Our products also enable advancements in the growing fields of nanoscience, nanobiology, and other areas of scientific and industrial research.
Our Process Equipment products precisely deposit or remove (etch) various thin film materials in the manufacturing of TFMHs for the data storage industry, HB-LEDs, wireless devices (such as power amplifiers and laser diodes), solar panels, and semiconductor mask reticles. Our Metrology equipment is used to provide critical surface measurements in research and production environments. In production, our equipment allows customers, such as those in semiconductor and data storage, to monitor their products throughout the manufacturing process in order to improve yields, reduce costs, and improve product quality. We also sell our broad line of AFMs, SPMs, optical interferometers, and stylus profilers to thousands of universities, research facilities, and scientific centers worldwide to enable a variety of nanotechnology related research.
We currently maintain facilities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York, with sales and service locations around the world. Each of our products is currently manufactured in only one location, since we believe that the technological know-how and precision needed to make each of our products requires specialized expertise.
During 2007, management initiated and acted on a profit improvement plan, resulting in personnel severance costs for approximately 7.5% of our employees, a reduction of discretionary expenses, realignment of our sales organization to more closely match current market and regional opportunities, and consolidation of certain engineering groups within our data storage business, which included the discontinuation of two products. In conjunction with these activities, we recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $6.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as an inventory write-off of $4.8 million and an asset impairment charge of $1.1 million.
...Gross profit for 2007 was 39.1%, compared to 44.0% in the comparable prior year period. Process Equipment gross margin decreased slightly from the prior year. This was caused by a decrease in the margin for Ion Beam products from 45.8% in the 2006 period to 38.5% in the current comparable period due to an unfavorable product mix, as well as the decrease in sales volume to customers in the data storage market. This product gross margin was also negatively impacted by a charge of $4.8 million for the write-off of inventory associated with several discontinued data storage product lines. However, these decreases were offset by a significant improvement in MOCVD product gross margins from 26.6% in 2006 to 37.6% in 2007 due to an increase in sales volume, as well as a significant improvement in mix and price. Metrology gross margins decreased to 44.1% from 51.5%, principally due to lower sales volume of automated AFM and optical metrology products and less favorable product mix in AFM products sold to scientific and research customers..."
