What the Analysts think about VAT Group AG
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for VAT Group AG stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of VAT Group AG stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
VAT’s Q3 order intake reached a record CHF 697 million, up 193% year on year, and its backlog climbed to CHF 980 million. A book-to-bill ratio of 1.9 gives the company a substantial near-term workload. (EQS News)
VAT now expects 2027 sales to be significantly above the top of its previous CHF 1.5–1.7 billion guidance. The upgrade reflects expectations for continued semiconductor investment and gives the growth outlook a longer horizon than the current quarter. (EQS News)
Global Service orders rose 88% year on year in Q3 as high fab utilisation supported demand for consumables and repairs. This growing service pipeline could add to revenue beyond new equipment demand. (EQS News)
In the first half, sales fell 8% year on year even as orders surged, as strained supply chains and the fast production ramp held back delivery. The business must keep converting its much larger order book into shipments. (VAT Group)
The rapid capacity build-out weighed on cash generation and earnings: first-half EBITDA fell 10% and free cash flow fell 18% year on year. Higher staffing and working-capital needs could continue to pressure returns if output and sales do not catch up quickly. (VAT Group)
Morningstar judged the shares overvalued after the record Q3 orders and raised 2027 outlook. That suggests strong operating momentum may already be reflected in the share price, leaving less room for disappointment-free upside. (Morningstar)
