Ichor's Profit Jumps as Cash Burn Grows: Rapid Earnings Reaction

Ichor Holdings swung to a $20.9 million GAAP profit in Q3 with 37% revenue growth, but free cash flow deteriorated to negative $39.5 million due to rising inventory and unpaid customer bills. While Q4 guidance projects continued sales growth, GAAP earnings guidance remains flat at $0.55, with profit gains dependent on adjusted figures rather than GAAP metrics.
