Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) helps chip manufacturers in the deposition and cleaning phases of chip manufacturing. Through deposition, chip manufacturers deposit materials on a silicon wafer before removing them to print circuits. Additionally, the wafer is cleaned multiple times throughout chip fabrication to ensure purity.

However, while semiconductor design stocks with exposure to AI have thrived in 2025, Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG)’s shares have lost 11.9% year-to-date. The most recent major dip in the shares came in October when the stock closed 11% lower on the 10th. More recently, the stock fell in late October after the firm’s downbeat fiscal fourth quarter revenue guidance. During the quarter, Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG) posted $807 million in revenue and $0.72 in adjusted earnings. Its revenue beat estimates while EPS met them. Yet, the midpoint fourth quarter guidance of $810 million fell below estimates of $826.9 million.

As Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTG)’s EPS met estimates, during the earnings call, the firm’s management shared its plans on how to improve profitability:

“Our second priority is accelerating the qualification and ramp of our new facilities in Taiwan and Colorado. Ramping these sites is critical to meeting future demand and offsetting the margin pressure driven by the cost of these investments, including incremental depreciation and foregone fixed cost leverage. Our Taiwan facility is expected to increase volume in 2026 and our Colorado facility, which has just been put into service, is expected to substantially complete customer product qualifications next year.”
