Share count rising — dilution

Diluted shares outstanding: 10.7M (2021) → 12.2M (2025)

inTEST Corporation makes equipment used to test electronic components, especially semiconductors. Its products include temperature management systems, thermal test chambers, and other specialized hardware that helps manufacturers check whether chips and electronics work correctly under extreme conditions. Its main customers are semiconductor makers, defense contractors, and industrial companies.

inTEST earns revenue by selling this testing equipment and related services directly to manufacturers and research labs. The company operates mostly in North America but also serves customers in Europe and Asia. With a market cap of around $200 million, it is a small player in the broader semiconductor equipment industry, competing against much larger companies like Teradyne and Cohu. Its narrow focus on thermal and environmental testing gives it some specialization, but thin operating margins near zero show how competitive and cost-sensitive the market is. The key growth driver is rising demand for chip testing as semiconductors become more complex, though any slowdown in semiconductor capital spending could quickly pressure its results.
