CAE Posts Record Growth in the First Quarter of 2021

CAE, the industry's first software and data-driven physical commodity trader for semiconductor capital equipment and commodities, announces record unaudited financial growth for the first quarter of 2021. CAE reports total year-over-year revenue growth of 71% in Q1, with each month in Q1 growing faster than the last, culminating in March growing over 150% when compared to March 2020, as the Austin-based company continues to scale up to meet the semiconductor industry's growing demands.
