Shares of Entegris fell 4.7% following earnings as investors appeared disappointed by the company's outlook for its mainstream logic segment, which management described as “mixed” with “tempered growth” expected through 2026. Market reaction suggests concerns that the improving results and positive rhetoric elsewhere were overshadowed by uncertainty in this key end market.

• Total revenue increased 5% year-over-year, with APS segment up 7% and MS up 3%.
• Gross margins improved both year-over-year and sequentially, driven by productivity and a useful-life accounting change.
• Free cash flow reached $144 million, representing approximately 18% of sales; $50 million of term loan repaid in the quarter.
