Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ICHR

10/13/2026: ICHR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Ichor Holdings Ltd is a specialized provider of fluid delivery systems and precision components essential to the semiconductor capital equipment market. The company possesses a leading position in critical subsystems, benefiting from long-term design partnerships with major equipment manufacturers. Its primary growth opportunity lies in the increasing complexity of advanced semiconductor nodes, which demand ever-more precise manufacturing solutions. However, investors must consider risks associated with high customer concentration and the inherently cyclical nature of the semiconductor equipment industry. Given its lack of dividends and volatility, the stock is generally best suited for growth-oriented investors who can navigate cyclical shifts and monitor industry-wide capital expenditure trends.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ICHR receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ICHR has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, soft growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid revenue growth (+11.6%) is partially offset by negative earnings growth (-153.5%), weak cash generation (FCF margin -0.7%), weak profitability (net margin -5.6%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ICHR's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being moderate liquidity, including working-capital and asset support (WC/assets 29.8%). Profitability is weak (1 stars), which helps explain the 2-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is ICHR's strongest growth driver at +11.6% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while earnings growth (-153.5%, negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-161.3%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 92.5% and approximately 98.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.43% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.95%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ICHR generates approximately $93 of gross profit, $-41 of operating income, and $-7 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and weak capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -10.96% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ICHR has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
