The company, which provides instruments and solutions for advanced manufacturing processes, significantly outperformed revenue expectations and provided an optimistic outlook for the remainder of the year.
For Q3 2025, MKS Instruments reported revenue of $988 million, handily beating analyst expectations of $970.5 million and marking a 10.27% increase from the same period last year. While the adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.93 fell slightly short of the $1.85 analyst estimate, it still represented a 12.21% improvement over the previous year's $1.72 per share. The company's strong performance was observed across multiple business segments, with notable growth in the Semiconductor and Electronics & Packaging divisions.

"Our investments to expand our portfolio over the past several years are paying off, with both our Semiconductor and Electronics & Packaging businesses poised to deliver double-digit revenue growth in 2025," Lee stated. This positive outlook, combined with the company's improved financial health - including $197 million in operating cash flow and $147 million in free cash flow during the quarter - appears to have resonated well with investors, driving the significant pre-market stock price increase. The market's enthusiastic response suggests growing confidence in MKS Instruments' ability to capitalize on opportunities in advanced semiconductor manufacturing and other high-tech sectors.
