Entegris reported record revenue in the third quarter of 2026, with sales and earnings above its guidance range. The semiconductor materials supplier also said record cash flow allowed it to accelerate debt repayment and strengthen its balance sheet.
The results point to strong growth in both its unit and capital-equipment businesses, which management linked to rising semiconductor complexity and investment in advanced technologies.
