Shares of Ichor Holdings Ltd. (ICHR) plunged 24.17% in after-hours trading on Monday following the release of disappointing third-quarter 2025 financial results and a weak fourth-quarter outlook. The semiconductor equipment supplier's performance fell short of analysts' expectations, raising concerns about its near-term prospects.
Ichor reported Q3 revenue of $239.3 million, slightly beating the analyst consensus of $235.1 million. However, the company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.07 significantly missed the estimated $0.12. More alarmingly, Ichor posted a substantial GAAP loss of $0.67 per share. The disappointing bottom line was largely attributed to a low gross margin of 4.6% and an operating margin of -8.1%, reflecting the challenging market conditions facing the semiconductor industry.
Adding to investor concerns, Ichor provided a weak outlook for the fourth quarter, projecting revenues between $210 million and $230 million. This guidance suggests a sequential decline, with the company noting that it expects revenues to fall before a potential recovery in 2026. The softer outlook, combined with ongoing inventory impairment costs and market pressures, has likely contributed to the sharp sell-off. In a separate announcement, Ichor named Phil Barros as its new Chief Executive Officer, a transition that comes at a critical time for the company as it navigates through industry headwinds.
