A story on the same day is not a cause, and a group move is not proof either. Group: the median of LRCX, ACMR, ACLS and VECO that day, the largest companies in VELO’s SEC industry; “moved with VELO” means the same direction and at least half the size.

Before the next report: what the first day after the last four did
Six trading days after each results filing (SEC 8-K, Item 2.02). Day 1 is the first close after each filing: the next day’s for a filing after the close, the same day’s otherwise. 3 of 4 times, day 6 ended on the same side as day 1.

Next report: expected mid JanuaryEstimated from the dates of its last four results filings. Not announced. Since the Oct 15 report: −31.25%. Four reports is a small sample.
Each line is VELO’s close against its close before the filing, on licensed end-of-day closes. What happened after each report, not a forecast; a move on the day is not a cause.
Same industry
VELO against four same-industry peers, a year at 100
VELO is up 2.8% in a year. ACM Research is up 26.4%, Lam Research 16.2%, Veeco Instruments 9.3% and Axcelis Technologies 5.0%. All four did more. Weekly closes, Nov 7, 2025 = 100, on a log scale, so the same percentage move is the same height on every line.
End-of-day closes (Databento EOD), the last close of each week. The four peers are the largest US-listed companies by market value in VELO’s SEC industry (Special Industry Machinery, Nec) with a year of closes. It shows what the closes did; a move here is not a cause, a forecast or a call.
