What the filing says
InTest Corporation reports estimated Q3 2026 orders of $48–$50M (up 28–33% YoY), driven by record back-end semiconductor orders, with revenue expected at the high end of guidance ($33–$35M, >30% growth vs. $26.2M in Q3 2025). Backlog at September 30, 2026 estimated at $58–$60M (up ~28–32% from $45.4M at June 30, 2026), with book-to-bill ratio above 1.3x. CEO cites AI-driven data center demand and new products (high-powered chillers, advanced manipulators) as drivers.
Why this rating
Strong sequential and YoY growth in orders/revenue and backlog expansion materially support near-term momentum; Q3 orders of ~$49M represent ~57% of company's $85.4M market cap—substantial. However, preliminary estimates carry execution risk; no specific guidance change for full-year EPS/margins disclosed.
