An announcement from VAT Group AG ( (CH:VACN) ) is now available.
VAT Group AG reported a strong finish to 2025, with fourth-quarter order intake rising 28% quarter-on-quarter to around CHF 305 million and exceeding the prior year, supported by technology transitions in semiconductors, robust AI-related demand and continued strength from Chinese customers, though part of the surge reflects CHF 30–35 million of orders pulled forward ahead of 2026 price increases. Fourth-quarter sales were roughly flat sequentially at CHF 257 million but still above guidance, while for the full year 2025 net sales climbed about 14% to CHF 1.07 billion and the company sustained a solid EBITDA margin of around 30% and free cash flow above CHF 225 million; management highlighted that capex for AI data centers and fully utilized HBM/DRAM capacity underpin its view that the structural growth path toward a USD 1 trillion semiconductor market remains intact, reinforcing VAT’s positioning as a key beneficiary of next-generation chip investments despite currency headwinds and a lower year-end order backlog.
The most recent analyst rating on (CH:VACN) stock is a Sell with a CHF325.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on VAT Group AG stock, see the CH:VACN Stock Forecast page.
