Rating:77Outperform

▲(18.32% Upside)
Action:Upgraded
Date:05/07/26
The score is driven primarily by a very strong, low-leverage balance sheet and solid profitability, partially tempered by persistent negative free cash flow and uneven cash conversion. Technicals are constructive with clear trend strength, but near-overbought signals add some short-term risk. Valuation is supportive with a relatively low P/E and a modest dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Balance sheet strength
Extremely low leverage and a growing equity base give Bachem durable financial flexibility. This reduces refinancing and solvency risk, supports capital spending for capacity and R&D, and enables the company to withstand cyclical demand swings in the CDMO market without overreliance on external funding.
Negative Factors
Persistent negative free cash flow
Persistent negative free cash flow across multiple years suggests heavy capex or rising working capital that absorbs cash. Over the medium term this can limit dividends, share buybacks, or internal investment unless cash conversion improves, potentially forcing external financing for growth.
