- About
- added: Entegris, Inc. (Entegris) is based in Billerica, Massachusetts. It supplies advanced materials and purity products to makers of semiconductors and other high-technology products. The Materials Solutions segment sells deposition materials, CMP slurries and pads, specialty gases and etch and clean chemicals. The Advanced Purity Solutions segment sells filters, purifiers and products that keep wafers and chemicals clean. Sales were $1,005.7 million in Q3 2026, the quarter ended September 26, 2026. Taiwan made 26% and China 18% of Q3 sales. The common stock trades on Nasdaq in US dollars. Entegris files 10-K and 10-Q reports.
- Thesis
- added: The price of Entegris depends on whether more complex chips raise the amount of its materials and filters per wafer fast enough to meet its new long-term model. Q3 2026 sales grew 25% to $1,005.7 million, the adjusted operating margin rose to 26.8% from 21.1% and non-GAAP EPS rose to $1.23 from $0.72. In November 2026 the company set targets of revenue growth of about 15% a year and an adjusted operating margin of about 35%. Its sales follow the production and capital spending of chip makers, which can fall fast. For the price to hold or rise, four things must be true. Sales to advanced logic, memory and packaging customers must keep growing. The margin must keep rising toward the 35% target. Sales in China, which were 18% of Q3 sales, must not fall because of export controls or tariffs. Cash flow must keep paying down debt and fund the new $500 million share repurchase program. The Q4 2026 report, expected in February 2027, is the next test.
- Risks
- added: Demand follows the chip cycle. When chip makers cut production or capital spending, sales and margins of Entegris can fall fast. Trade rules can hurt sales. China made 18% of Q3 2026 sales, and export controls, sanctions and tariffs have raised costs and can limit sales. Debt is still large. Debt principal was $3,295.0 million at September 26, 2026, and net interest expense was $43.9 million in Q3. The new targets are demanding. The long-term model needs the adjusted operating margin to rise to about 35% from 26.8% in Q3 2026. Leaders changed. The Executive Chair retired in July 2026 and a new head of Materials Solutions started in June 2026.
