Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ICHR

09/15/2026: ICHR (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Ichor Holdings Ltd is a specialized provider of gas and chemical delivery subsystems that are essential to semiconductor manufacturing tools. The company’s primary strength lies in its deep integration with leading chip equipment manufacturers, which creates a stable, long-term business relationship. The investment story centers on the secular growth of the semiconductor sector and the ongoing trend of increased component outsourcing by major OEMs. However, the stock faces risks from significant cyclicality, customer concentration, and the potential for manufacturing shifts. Ichor is best suited for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate cyclical volatility, and they should monitor the overall semiconductor capital expenditure cycle for signs of momentum.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ICHR receives a 2-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%), soft cash generation (FCF margin -0.7%), soft profitability (net margin -5.6%).

Financial Health Rating

ICHR's financial health is supported by 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 92.3% and approximately 98.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.44% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 14.00%
Capital Research & Mgmt Co - Division 3 5.47%
Amvescap Plc. 4.95%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.62%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.87%

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. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

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.
