Bears say
MKS Inc. has reported a notable decline in sales within key segments, with semiconductor-related revenue decreasing by 16.3% year-over-year, compounded by a projected revenue decrease for 1Q25 due to ongoing industrial market softness and seasonal effects. The Electronics and Packaging segment also experienced a slight decline, further reinforcing expectations of flat to negative growth in the upcoming quarter. Additionally, MKS's net debt to pro forma TTM EBITDA ratio remains elevated at 4.3x, indicating potential concerns regarding financial leverage and weakening profitability amidst declining sales performance across multiple business segments.
