What You Should Know

Entegris is a US specialty-chemicals and materials-science company supplying advanced materials, filtration and purification solutions, contamination-control products, and process consumables to the semiconductor industry across the front-end wafer-fabrication process. Products include liquid filtration, specialty gas delivery, specialty chemistries for advanced patterning and chemical-mechanical planarization, FOUPs and wafer-handling consumables, and microcontamination control. The customer base is the global semiconductor manufacturing industry. Specialty materials for semiconductor manufacturing are unambiguously permissible at the activity level. Entegris carries meaningful term-loan debt from the 2022 CMC Materials acquisition, and the debt-to-market-cap ratio has at times sat near or above the 33% Sharia threshold. Management has been actively deleveraging from free cash flow. Muslim investors should verify the current debt-to-market-cap ratio at their preferred screening platform before initiating a position. The qualitative screen passes cleanly across major Sharia advisory boards.
