Shares of Tower Semiconductor rose Wednesday after the company guided for another quarter of revenue growth on strong demand from the data center market.

The stock was up 13% to $48.80 in morning trading, reaching its highest intraday level since 2022. Shares are up about 60% this year.

The Israeli company, which makes components for the semiconductor industry, said it expects revenue of $387 million in the fourth quarter, with an upward or downward range of 5%. The midpoint of guidance would represent a year-on-year increase of over 7%.

Chief Executive Russell Ellwanger said demand for its SiGe and SiPho platforms was accelerating quickly. The company is investing in multiple factories to increase capacity, he said.

Tower reported a profit of $54.6 million, or 49 cents a share, in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with a profit of $53.4 million, or 48 cents a share, a year earlier.

Revenue in the quarter rose about 3.6% from a year earlier to $371 million.
