ENTG Cover Image

Looking back on semiconductor manufacturing stocks’ Q1 earnings, we examine this quarter’s best and worst performers, including Entegris (NASDAQ: ENTG) and its peers.

The semiconductor industry is driven by demand for advanced electronic products like smartphones, PCs, servers, and data storage. The need for technologies like artificial intelligence, 5G networks, and smart cars is also creating the next wave of growth for the industry. Keeping up with this dynamism requires new tools that can design, fabricate, and test chips at ever smaller sizes and more complex architectures, creating a dire need for semiconductor capital manufacturing equipment.

The 14 semiconductor manufacturing stocks we track reported a mixed Q1. As a group, revenues missed analysts’ consensus estimates by 0.7% while next quarter’s revenue guidance was 3% below.

Luckily, semiconductor manufacturing stocks have performed well with share prices up 23.7% on average since the latest earnings results.

Entegris reported revenues of $773.2 million, flat year on year. This print fell short of analysts’ expectations by 2.1%. Overall, it was a disappointing quarter for the company with a significant miss of analysts’ EPS estimates and an increase in its inventory levels.

Bertrand Loy, Entegris’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Our first quarter revenue grew 5 percent year-on-year, excluding divestitures, with strong demand for our CMP consumables and micro contamination control solutions. Gross margin, EBITDA margin and non-GAAP EPS were within guidance.”

Market Update

As a result of the Fed’s rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has come down from frothy levels post-pandemic. The general rise in the price of goods and services is trending towards the Fed’s 2% goal as of late, which is good news. The higher rates that fought inflation also didn't slow economic activity enough to catalyze a recession. So far, soft landing. This, combined with recent rate cuts (half a percent in September 2024 and a quarter percent in November 2024) have led to strong stock market performance in 2024. The icing on the cake for 2024 returns was Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential Election in early November, sending major indices to all-time highs in the week following the election. Still, debates around the health of the economy and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts remain, leaving much uncertainty around 2025.
