Bulls say / Bears say
H1 2026 showed strong operating momentum: sales rose 5.6% year over year to CHF 239.8 million, EBITDA increased 36.5%, and the six-month book-to-bill ratio reached 1.48. (Comet)
Comet is gaining traction in advanced semiconductor inspection: purchase orders for the CA20 X-ray system more than doubled in H1 2026, expanding the potential growth opportunity for its IXS division. (Comet)
The company raised or maintained an attractive medium-term operating setup, targeting FY2026 sales of CHF 540d570 million and a 14%d17% EBITDA margin, while its efficiency program is expected to generate CHF 20d30 million of annual EBITDA improvement from 2028. (Comet)
Free cash flow fell to CHFd19.3 million in H1 2026 from CHF 1.3 million a year earlier, as Penang expansion capex and inventory build-up absorbed cash. (Comet)
The IXS division remained loss-making, with H1 EBITDA of CHFd4.0 million and a negative 8.2% margin; Comet still expects the CA20 platform to reach break-even only in 2028. (Comet)
Near-term profitability remains exposed to execution and external pressures: Penang ramp-up and efficiency initiatives are expected to reduce FY2026 EBITDA margin by about 3 percentage points, while currency movements and higher logistics, energy, and raw-material costs remain risks. (Comet)
