Earnings Review · 28 October 2026
The print
Revenue $3.66B. EPS $1.22 vs $1.18 expected.
What changed versus going in
Earnings came in at $1.22 a share against $1.18 expected, a beat of 3% (+$0.04 a share). Revenue of $3.66B compares with $4.00B expected, 8.6% below consensus.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Underlying money flow reads as distribution (21-day Chaikin Money Flow -0.18, five-day price change -12.1%, as of 2026-10-23, desk flow model).
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 15%, net margins near 36%, a strong competitive moat, backed by a 87% return on equity.
Levels that matter
At $145.61 the shares sit 53% below the 52-week high of $307.37 and 36% above the low of $107.20 (19% of the way up the range). The 50-day average is $182.42, above the price. The 200-day average is $1019.73, above the price.
The valuation lens
The shares trade close to our fair-value estimate (-2% margin of safety): fairly priced, little cushion for a miss. Fair value lands near $143 against a $145.61 share price, a margin of safety of about -2%. The trailing multiple sits around 49 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
The two standards split: it clears the faith-based (AAOIFI) screen but not our broader anchor screen. We default to protection and do not call it compliant on a divergence.
The compliant alternative
If the theme is what draws you, Amtech Systems Inc (ASYS) sits in the same industry (Semiconductor Equipment & Materials) and clears our principled screen, the place to look instead of chasing a name that does not.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
