Universal Display (OLED.O)

Model Update; Maintain Neutral

CITI'S TAKE

We update our model post Jun-Q results and align with Universal Display's

latest CY26 expectations. The company lowered full year outlook to the

lower end of prior range of $630M -$670M with 2H seasonally up, citing

softer smartphone demand as higher memory and component costs

pressure unit volumes, while emphasizing that the revision is volumedriven rather than pricing-related. Blue development continues to

progress, with timing dependent on customer adoption plans. Longer

term, management remains positive on OLED growth, supported by

ongoing Gen 8.6/Gen 6 capacity investments and expanding adoption

across IT, automotive, and foldable devices. We adjust CY26/27 EPS down

by +2%/-3% to $4.15/$4.76, and lower our TP to $85 from $100 on 18x

P/E applied to CY27 EPS, vs 23x prior on continued softness in consumer

electronics market and lower market multiple. Maintain Neutral.
