What Is The Market Telling Us

Entegris’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 30 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock gained 2.7% on the news that OpenAI announced partnerships with South Korean firms SK Hynix and Samsung for its ambitious 'Stargate' AI infrastructure project, signaling massive future demand for advanced chips. The news sent immediate shockwaves through global markets. In South Korea, shares of SK Hynix jumped 9.9%, while Samsung Electronics rose 3.5%. The optimism spread to Wall Street, where U.S. chipmakers also saw significant gains, with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) climbing 2.7% and Broadcom advancing 2.5%. This massive investment underscores the insatiable demand for the advanced semiconductors required to power artificial intelligence. The rally reflects growing investor confidence in an AI-driven supercycle for semiconductor growth, positioning the sector's leaders to capitalize on the next technological frontier.

Entegris is up 1.9% since the beginning of the year, but at $99.09 per share, it is still trading 11.7% below its 52-week high of $112.20 from October 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Entegris’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,256.
