Camtek (NASDAQ:CAMT) surged 5.84% to $164.42 in early trading on August 10, 2026, following the company’s announcement of record Q2 2026 revenue and strong guidance for the second half of the year. The stock opened with a 2.0% gap down from the prior close but quickly reversed to post gains after the earnings report highlighted outperforming revenue and a projected more than 30% growth in the second half. The move reflects investor optimism around Camtek’s expanding order book and AI infrastructure demand.
