On August 27, Ultra Clean rose 10.3% in pre-market trading, trading at $77.5/share, with turnover of $29,500. The stock is rebounding sharply after a prolonged selloff triggered by its capital raise announcement.
On the news front, the company previously disclosed a $400 million at-the-market common stock offering plan in mid-August, which drove shares down from approximately $93 to as low as $72.78, representing a cumulative decline exceeding 20%.

The company also guided Q3 revenue of $700-$750 million versus analyst expectations of $667.4 million. Additionally, Oppenheimer raised its price target to $150 from $115, maintaining an Outperform rating.
