On July 29, Entegris fell 5.37% in regular trading, trading at approximately $111.71/share, with turnover of $39.89 million.
On the news front, the Korean KOSPI index plunged over 8% intraday triggering a circuit breaker mechanism, with SK Hynix dropping over 13% and Samsung Electronics falling more than 12%, sending panic across the global semiconductor supply chain. The semiconductor equipment sector saw broad-based selling pressure, with KLA-Tencor down 7.27%, Applied Materials down 4.64%, and Lam Research down 3.53%. Additionally, Entegris is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on August 4, and the approaching earnings window has intensified wait-and-see sentiment among investors, compounding systematic sector selling with earnings uncertainty to weigh on the stock.
Entegris had previously announced a cross-licensing agreement with JSR on EUV lithography materials and maintains consensus revenue expectations of $835 million for the upcoming quarter, representing approximately 10% year-over-year growth. However, near-term macro risk aversion has overshadowed the fundamental outlook.
