Veeco Instruments Inc: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Veeco Instruments Inc disclose to SEC (Form 4) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Industry sector and is based in Plainview, United States. It was founded in 1945. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 37 filings were filed, from 12 insiders.
No insider bought on the market over the period, while 4 insiders filed 14 sales totalling €14.1M. The totals exclude 1 filing filed without an amount. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €5.8M from Miller William John, disclosed on 19 August 2026, or 0.23% of market capitalisation.
Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
Across the 5,813 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 37 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Our records for Veeco Instruments Inc go back to 2016, with 2 purchases and 52 sales on the open market in total. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 31 December 2025), the company reported revenue of 664.3 m USD and net income of 35.4 m USD.

About Veeco Instruments Inc
Veeco Instruments Inc. is a U.S.-based semiconductor capital equipment company focused on process tools for advanced electronics manufacturing. The company is listed on the NASDAQ market under ticker VECO in the United States, with corporate headquarters in Plainview, New York. Veeco’s business is centered on the development, manufacture, sales, and support of semiconductor and thin-film process equipment, making it a niche supplier to highly technical, cycle-sensitive end markets. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926032103/tm267511d2_ars.pdf))
Veeco’s roots go back to its origins as an instrumentation company, but over time it has evolved into a specialized equipment vendor serving the semiconductor ecosystem. Its portfolio spans ion beam deposition, laser annealing, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), wet processing, and advanced packaging lithography-related technologies. This breadth allows the company to address multiple end markets, including logic, memory, compound semiconductors, photonics, RF, power electronics, scientific research, and hard disk drive data storage. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926019711/veco-20251231x10k.htm))

From a competitive standpoint, Veeco positions itself as a provider of differentiated, proprietary platforms rather than a broad-based commodity toolmaker. A key example is its TurboDisc technology, which underpins the company’s MOCVD systems and is marketed for uniformity, yield, uptime, and lower cost of ownership. The company also highlights its exposure to next-generation semiconductor trends such as EUV lithography, EUV pellicles, and advanced DRAM/HBM development, indicating a product roadmap aligned with advanced-node manufacturing. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926019711/veco-20251231x10k.htm))
Veeco has a meaningful international footprint even though it is a U.S. company. In addition to its headquarters and major operations in the United States, it maintains foreign sales and service offices in China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan. That footprint is important because its customer base is global and concentrated in semiconductor manufacturing hubs. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/103145/000110465926032103/tm267511d2_ars.pdf))
Recent business developments have been constructive. In 2025, Veeco announced the launch of its Lumina+ MOCVD system and reported its first commercial multi-tool order for high-volume compound semiconductor production. It also disclosed that a leading semiconductor memory company selected its Laser Spike Annealing (LSA) system for advanced DRAM evaluation, and its annual report discussed extended evaluations of the IBD300 platform at leading DRAM customers as well as growing EUV-related opportunities. For investors, these updates reinforce Veeco’s positioning as a technology enabler in advanced semiconductor manufacturing rather than a pure cyclical supplier.
