ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD. represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD. a Hold rating, with a composite score of 50.3/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1964 of 7,333 stocks, ICHR presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
ICHR's quality score of 42/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of -6.0% (sector avg: -1.9%), gross margins of 10.2% (sector avg: 44.1%), net margins of -4.2% (sector avg: 1.0%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
With a value score of 41/100, ICHR appears somewhat expensive relative to its fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/B ratio of 2.61x. Investors paying a premium here are likely betting on above-average growth or margin expansion to justify current prices.
ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD.'s investment score of 27/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 17.8% vs. a sector average of 6.7% and a return on assets of -4.2% (sector: 0.9%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
ICHR demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 68/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 17.8% year-over-year, while a beta of 2.73 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD. registers a low stability score of 22/100, indicating high volatility and potentially stressed financial conditions. Key stability metrics include a beta of 2.73 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 19.00x (sector avg: 0.2x). Stocks at this level carry elevated capital loss risk and may be unsuitable for conservative portfolios without careful risk management.
ICHR carries a short interest score of 64/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include high market sensitivity (beta: 2.73), elevated leverage (D/E: 19.00x), small-cap liquidity risk. At $593M market cap (small-cap), ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD. offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
ICHOR HOLDINGS, LTD. is a small-cap company in the Manufacturing sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1964 of 7,333 overall (73rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of -6.0% trailing the -1.9% sector median and operating margins of -2.7% below the 2.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Manufacturing peers.
While ICHR currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the MANUFACTURING sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
