D1 Capital Partners Adds Entegris to Its Portfolio

D1 Capital Partners, founded by Daniel Sundheim, made a significant investment in Entegris, Inc. during the third quarter of 2024, acquiring approximately 641,101 shares valued at around $72.14 million. This acquisition positioned Entegris as the 25th largest holding in D1 Capital's portfolio, making up about 1.4% of their total investments.

Entegris has caught the attention of analysts, receiving a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating from ten brokerages and an average one-year price target of $135.40. This positive sentiment among analysts has been partly fueled by Entegris's strategic moves, including a notable divestiture in March 2024.

In an effort to streamline operations, Entegris divested its Pipeline and Industrial Materials (PIM) business for up to $285 million. This strategic divestiture aimed at reducing debt has been praised, with institutions like Goldman Sachs maintaining a 'Buy' rating on the stock. Despite the lack of a specific endorsement from Sundheim, Entegris's strategic steps continue to strengthen its market position.

Rogers Corporation has yet to publicize specific growth targets for the second quarter of 2025. However, their strategic direction was previously laid out in March 2023, when they aimed for a revenue compound annual growth rate of 7% to 10% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24% to 26% by 2025. In the first quarter of 2024, Rogers took significant steps to enhance cost efficiencies due to a downturn in orders from ceramic power substrate clients and waning consumer demand. These measures paid off with improved gross margins by the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, plans were revealed to enhance operational efficiency by consolidating high-frequency circuit material manufacturing, with projected savings of $7 million to $9 million expected after project completion in mid-2025, according to Investing.com. Although Rogers Corporation has not disclosed specific tariff mitigation strategies, their operations span key regions like China, Europe, and the U.S., areas where trade policies and tariffs have notable impacts. This aligns with past acknowledgments by the company regarding the influence of global trade dynamics on their operations.

Seagate Technology Holdings has projected a promising revenue of $2.4 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, citing a substantial increase in demand from the cloud sector. This projection is part of Seagate's broader strategy to ramp up its cutting-edge Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) technology, which is expected to enhance storage capacities and profit margins as it targets mass production by mid-2025. Seagate is ambitiously qualifying its HAMR-based drives, including the Mozaic 3+ platform, to meet this demand. The company has also made progress in qualifying its 24TB Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) and 28TB Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives, with plans for volume shipments in the early fiscal 2025. Reuters highlighted that the company's focus on these technological advancements aligns with the increasing needs of cloud service providers for mass storage solutions. Amid these efforts, Seagate reported notable financial performance in the fiscal first quarter of 2025, with revenue climbing to $2.17 billion—a 14% increase from the previous quarter—accompanied by a non-GAAP gross margin of 33.3%. This development underlines Seagate's strategic push towards securing a strong position in the evolving digital storage market by capitalizing on the growing demand for data capacity solutions.

Logitech Faces Earnings Miss Amid Rising Tariff Challenges

Logitech Faces Earnings Miss Amid Rising Tariff Challenges

1 hours agoLOGI

Logitech International reported disappointing fourth-quarter results for the period ending March 2025, with non-GAAP operating profit coming in at $133 million, slightly beneath analyst predictions of $134 million. The company's sales were flat at $1.01 billion, missing the expected $1.03 billion mark. According to Reuters, these results were affected by problems with its e-commerce payment provider and increased spending on R&D and marketing. Despite these hurdles, Logitech met its full-year sales targets of $4.54–$4.57 billion and non-GAAP operating income between $755–$770 million. However, the company withdrew its 2026 outlook due to complications from new U.S. trade policies. Logitech manufactures around 40% of its products in China, with the rest produced in other Asian countries and Mexico, all of which are subject to heightened U.S. tariffs. These conditions weigh heavily as the U.S. remains Logitech's largest market, accounting for about a third of its sales. Looking ahead, Logitech has guided its first quarter of fiscal year 2026 sales to range from $1.10 billion to $1.15 billion, with expected operating income between $155 million and $185 million. Reuters highlighted the withdrawal of Logitech's 2026 forecasts due to the uncertain tariff environment, reflecting the significant impact of trade tensions on the company's strategic planning.
