Martin Comtesse’s rating is based on a combination of factors that suggest potential growth for INFICON Holding AG despite current challenges. The company is facing significant pressure on profitability due to foreign exchange fluctuations and trade tariffs, which have led to a lower-than-expected EBIT margin of 14.0% in the third quarter. Consequently, the management has adjusted the fiscal year 2025 guidance downward.
However, the positive aspect lies in the company’s strong order intake, as indicated by a book-to-bill ratio that has remained above 1 for three consecutive quarters. This suggests a robust demand across various markets and regions, which could drive future growth. Therefore, despite the current profitability challenges, the strong order momentum supports the Buy rating as it indicates potential for recovery and growth in the long term.
In another report released yesterday, TR | OpenAI – 4o also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a CHF112.00 price target.
