ICHR

Ichor Holdings is transitioning from low-margin assembly to an IP-rich equipment supplier, driving significant gross margin expansion. ICHR targets proprietary content growth to 35% by the end of FY2026, supporting structural margin gains and operational leverage as market tailwinds accelerate. Management guides for 31–32% YoY revenue growth in FY2026, with EPS projected to more than double in FY2027, supporting a Buy rating and $85/share target (~47% upside).

Here is how Ichor Holdings (ICHR) and Monolithic Power (MPWR) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

Ichor Holdings is benefiting from a semiconductor equipment demand recovery, driving strong revenue and margin growth. Q2 2026 revenue rose 24% YoY to $294.8M, with non-GAAP EPS reaching $0.34 and non-GAAP gross margin improving to 14.1%. Management guides for further sequential growth in Q3, forecasting $315–345M revenue and $0.40–0.50 non-GAAP EPS.

Ichor Holdings offers a compelling risk/reward profile after a sharp valuation reset, trading at $57 despite strong operational momentum. ICHR's margin expansion is structurally driven by proprietary content, internalization, and manufacturing footprint shifts, with sequential 100bps gains and a path to 20% gross margin. Management guides for 30%+ revenue growth in 2026 and is preparing for $2–3bn annual capacity, supported by a net cash balance sheet and disciplined opex.

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.

Ichor's Q2 earnings beat estimates as margin gains offset a revenue miss, while strong demand fuels upbeat 2026 growth and Q3 guidance.

Ichor expects a steeper second-half revenue ramp, quarterly margin gains and stronger 2027 growth as supply issues ease and internal content rises.
