We own both $ONTO and $CAMT because they sell overlapping tools to different HBM makers, and we raised Onto while holding Camtek. In our 4Q26 portfolio rebalance we increased Onto in our portfolio and held Camtek unchanged. Inspection identifies defects. Metrology measures dimensions and material properties to check that manufacturing meets specifications. Both companies sell inspection and metrology tools for HBM and advanced packaging, but their customer exposure differs. Onto is more closely tied to SK hynix's capital-spending plans. Our industry information identifies Camtek as a preferred supplier for Samsung's HBM production lines, and Samsung is investing aggressively to catch up with SK hynix in HBM. Camtek is smaller and more specialized, and we see a technical edge in selected HBM applications. Onto also sells chip-fabrication metrology and packaging lithography, which Camtek does not offer. We raised Onto because increasingly complex chip designs give customers reasons to keep investing beyond the current packaging recovery. We hold Camtek as the more focused advanced-packaging investment.

$CCLD. Image 1 shows a 2.82x MOIC in 5 years with the same multiple 8x and paltry EBITDA growth, basically without acquisition. One of those two variables would have to give. EBITDA growth of 16% over 5 years is highly conservative especially if they gain momentum as a AI beneficiary or just continue acquiring. 8x EBITDA is conservative as well, this is versus peer sets transacting at a median of 13.6x (Image 2) and 18.6x (Image 3). @R1RCM @Waystar @trubridge @CorroHealth @IKSHealth
