A U.S. politician is up more than 100% on this stock in less than six months

United States Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz reported in August 2025 that she invested in Ichor Holdings (NASDAQ: ICHR), a semiconductor equipment company.

The purchase was immediately suspicious, being the first time a politician had bought the stock in over eight years.

Now, the trade becomes more interesting, as the stock has since more than doubled in value, gaining approximately 110% since Wasserman Schultz filed her report.

Indeed, on the day of the filings, ICHR shares were changing hands at $14.54, while at press time, the price was $30.57.

Ichor Holdings stock rally

Ichor’s rally over the past six months likely points to the company’s leverage to rising activity among major semiconductor equipment makers.

Nonetheless, ICHR shares are still down 6% on the yearly chart, so Ichor continues to face execution challenges and must rebuild investor confidence.

The improving sector momentum, however, should be a sufficient stepping stone to support the company’s performance going forward, as argued by Needham, who upgraded Ichor to a ‘Buy’ rating on January 20, with a $36 ICHR stock price target.

Now, all eyes are on Ichor’s fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, scheduled to be released on Monday, February 9, 2026.

The company plans to follow the release with a conference call to discuss the results and provide a business outlook. As the past quarter saw a 42% drop in earnings growth, and sales growth came in at 13%, the February 9 discussion is shaping up to be of utmost importance for ICHR’s future trajectory.
