Analyst reactions to Entegris's second-quarter results have been mixed. BMO Capital lowered its price target for Entegris to $95 from $100, citing margin headwinds, but maintained an Outperform rating. Conversely, Mizuho raised its price target for Entegris to $100, also maintaining an Outperform rating, due to a positive recovery outlook [1].

Entegris's third-quarter guidance did not meet investor expectations, sparking varied reactions from analysts and investors regarding the company's future performance.
