$PLAB Today, Photronics finally published and filed its Q3 FY2026 10-Q with the SEC. Now that the complete quarterly filing is available, I was able to update my quarterly charts for Photronics. • Revenue: $216.0M 🔼 (near recent highs) • IC revenue: $154.7M • High end IC: ~$68.5M 🔼 (near record high) • Net income to shareholders: $28.9M • Gross margin: 33.2% ↗️, up from 31.3% in Q2 All of this was already known from the August 26 press release, but what I like most is the continued shift toward higher-value, high-end semiconductor products. Gross margin also recovered from the Q2 dip. Photronics' total revenue has been fairly flat for several years, but margins remain healthy and cash & equivalents have been trending higher. Margins could improve further if high-end semiconductor revenue keeps growing, with the US fab expansion as an important catalyst. At $28.50/share, PLAB trades at only ~10x trailing GAAP earnings, which looks remarkably cheap to me!💡
