ICHR scores as moderately attractive: strong technical momentum and a constructive earnings outlook (accelerating revenue ramp with planned margin expansion) are partially offset by still-weak underlying fundamentals (negative margins and negative free cash flow) and limited valuation support due to losses and no dividend.
Positive Factors
Revenue rebound
A 122% TTM revenue rebound signals durable demand from semiconductor equipment OEMs and successful program ramps. That enlarges the revenue base, supports scale economies and operating leverage, and makes multi-quarter margin recovery and reinvestment more achievable.
Negative Factors
Negative margins & cash flow
Despite revenue growth, margins (EBIT/net) remain negative and FCF is materially negative, meaning the business is not yet self-funding. Continued losses limit reinvestment, constrain return metrics, and maintain reliance on external capital until margins sustainably improve.

Ichor Holdings Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 04, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 11, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call portrayed a company executing a rapid revenue ramp with improving margins and clear strategic progress (notably successful Mexico qualifications and planned Malaysia ramp). Management raised near-term guidance materially and outlined a credible path to recurring gross margin expansion (~100 bps/quarter) and higher operating leverage. Offsetting risks include near-term cash use for inventory, existing leverage (debt), supply-chain and labor pacing constraints, and specific end-market softness (silicon carbide and some European/lithography demand). Overall, the positives around accelerating revenue, triple operating income vs. Q4, stronger guidance, and execution on footprint realignment meaningfully outweigh the manageable operational and market risks.Positive Updates
Strong Q1 Revenue and Sequential Growth
Q1 revenues of $256.1 million, up 15% sequentially versus Q4, came in at the upper end of guidance and reflect accelerating demand momentum and execution.
Negative Updates
Operating Cash Use and Cash Balance Decline
Cash from operations was a use of $2.9 million in Q1 due to inventory investment supporting the ramp. Cash and equivalents fell to $89.1 million at quarter end, a decrease of $9.2 million versus Q4.

Company Guidance
Management guided Q2 revenues of $290–$310M (≈$300M ±$10M), noting unconstrained demand already exceeds $300M and a ramp that represents growth well over 30% in just two quarters, with Q2 gross margin targeted at 13%–14% and an expected ~100 bps per quarter gross‑margin expansion through 2026 toward a near‑term goal of at least 15% (gross profit dollars expected to grow ~2x revenue growth in H2). Q1 results were: $256.1M revenue (up 15% sequentially), 12.8% gross margin (up 110 bps), $8.7M operating income (3.4% of revenue), EPS $0.15 on 35.3M diluted shares, and EBITDA of nearly $14M. Balance‑sheet and cash metrics: cash $89.1M (down $9.2M q/q), cash from operations a use of $2.9M, Q1 CapEx $7.1M (targeting ~3% of revenue, modestly higher in H2), DSOs 33 days, inventory turns 3.7, total debt $122M, and net debt coverage of 1.6. Management reiterated OpEx discipline (guiding 5%–6% full‑year OpEx growth and a ≈$25M run rate from Q2), ~ $2M/quarter for interest/other, and an assumed effective tax rate of 20%–25%; Q2 EPS was guided to $0.25–$0.35 on ~35.5M diluted shares.Ichor Holdings Financial Statement Overview
