Why it matters

  1. What Entegris does

    Entegris supplies specialized materials, microcontamination control products, and chemicals used to manufacture advanced semiconductors. Chipmakers pay them to secure the high-purity inputs required for delicate fabrication processes. The company is leaning into next-generation node requirements to capture rising demand for advanced logic and memory chips.

  2. What it does best

    Entegris leads in high-purity materials, but its gross margin of 45.6% trails peers like LRCX at 50.5%, reflecting a heavier cost structure.

  3. The main risk

    High debt creates vulnerability, with net debt sitting at $3.4 billion and interest coverage at just 2.9x.

Quality, check by check

Scored against its own industry, from company filings.

ProfitabilityWeak

Operating margin sits at 17.1% with an ROE of 7.6%. Margins remain compressed compared to sector norms, limiting scaling benefits.

MoatWeak

Customer lock-in relies on tight integration into chipmaker toolsets, though its gross margin ranks in the bottom quartile at the 27th sector percentile.

GrowthSlow

Revenue fell 1.4% to $3.3 billion, continuing a multi-year stagnation pattern visible in its annual history where revenue peaked above $3.5 billion.

Financial healthWeak

Debt-to-equity of 0.9x and interest coverage under 3x leave little room for error. Free cash flow reached $575 million, showing soft balance-sheet reality getting tighter.

Insiders

Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
