Sentiment Analysis
I reiterate Ichor Holdings (ICHR) as a Strong Buy with a revised price target of $82. Q2 2026 results demonstrated 15% sequential and 23% y/y revenue growth, with non-GAAP EPS reaching a three-year high and gross margin beating guidance. Management guides for a steep H2 2026 revenue ramp, projecting at least 30% full-year revenue growth and 25% higher H2 vs. H1 revenues. Valuation has become more attractive despite the stronger growth outlook, with ICHR's FWD non-GAAP PEG falling to 0.56x, 55% below the sector median. Semiconductor equipment cyclicality, customer concentration and slower-than-expected margin expansion remain the largest risks to my estimates.
