Bulls say / Bears say

H1 2026 order intake rose 12.2% to CHF 311.4 million, the order backlog increased to CHF 183.1 million, and adjusted EBIT more than doubled to CHF 16.5 million, lifting the adjusted EBIT margin to 6.1% from 2.7%. (Komax)
Komax is diversifying beyond automotive: automotive’s revenue share fell to 57% from 64%, while North and South American revenue grew 17.1%, supported by demand for automated wire-processing and quality-control solutions linked to data-center construction. (Komax)
Cost actions are beginning to improve operating leverage: the company has reduced its cost base by more than CHF 25 million versus 2024, expects up to an additional CHF 10 million of annual savings from 2027, generated CHF 7.2 million of H1 free cash flow, and reduced net debt to CHF 104.9 million. (Komax)
H1 2026 revenue fell 2.8% to CHF 272.4 million because of negative currency effects, while reported EBIT dropped to CHF 1.6 million after CHF 14.9 million of restructuring and portfolio-adjustment charges; group earnings after tax remained negative at CHF 5.0 million. (Komax)
Automotive customers remained cautious, while volatile European markets, Chinese overcapacity, declining global vehicle production, and geopolitical uncertainty continue to weigh on investment demand; Komax consequently guides to only CHF 16–20 million of 2026 EBIT including one-time effects. (Komax)
The April 2026 departure of CEO Matijas Meyer created a leadership transition, with Chairman Andreas Häberli serving as interim CEO until Roger Albrecht is expected to take over in Q1 2027; the CFO search is also tied to the incoming CEO, creating execution risk during the realignment. (Komax)
