PVA TePla AG stock (ISIN DE0007461006) is quoted at EUR 30.06 on Xetra as of September 10, 2026, with a year-to-date performance of 33.68 percent from a starting level of EUR 22.80 at the end of 2025 per data compiled by The Motley Fool.
Price level and recent performance
According to The Motley Fool, PVA TePla AG is currently trading at EUR 30.06 per share on its Frankfurt listing, implying a market capitalization of approximately EUR 653.03 million as of September 10, 2026.
The same overview shows that the stock closed at EUR 30.48 on September 9, 2026, so the latest quotation represents a modest decline of around 1.4 percent compared with that prior close, while the one-week price return remains a positive 1.8 percent from EUR 29.94 on September 2, 2026.
Stock between 52-week range and long-term gains
Per the price statistics from The Motley Fool, PVA TePla stock has traded in a 52-week range between EUR 19.78 and EUR 46.50, placing the current EUR 30.06 level clearly above the low but still substantially below the high.
Over a three-year horizon, the portal calculates that an investment at EUR 16.58 on September 8, 2023 would have gained 83.84 percent by reaching EUR 30.48 on September 9, 2026, underlining how strongly the shares have appreciated despite interim volatility.
Analyst views emphasize upside and risk
An article on the German financial portal wallstreetONLINE dated September 10, 2026 notes that PVA TePla has recently received two positive analyst recommendations, while emphasizing that at least one valuation-related risk factor still weighs on the investment case.
For retail investors, the key message from this coverage is that professional analysts remain constructive on PVA TePla stock at current levels, but they also flag that the path toward higher prices may be constrained by earnings volatility and sensitivity to the semiconductor investment cycle.
Quarterly fundamentals in Q2 2026
The latest available quarterly data compiled in the TPE financials section on The Motley Fool show that PVA TePla generated revenue of EUR 65.66 million in the second quarter of 2026, representing year-over-year growth of 1.1 percent.
Gross profit in Q2 2026 amounted to EUR 19.68 million, up 1.0 percent compared with the same quarter a year earlier, while the gross margin stood at 29.96 percent, improving by 0.9 percentage points on the year.
The portal further reports that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) reached EUR 3.91 million in Q2 2026, an increase of 0.6 percent year over year, whereas net income was slightly negative at EUR minus 0.72 million, with a year-on-year change of minus 0.3 percent.
Balance sheet and leverage indicators
The quarterly fundamentals section on The Motley Fool indicates that total cash stood at EUR 50.99 million as of Q2 2026, which is 2.9 percent lower than in the prior-year quarter.
Total debt was EUR 44.66 million at the same reporting date, marking a 1.2 percent increase year over year; the breakdown shows long-term debt at EUR 27.24 million and short-term debt at EUR 17.42 million, both also higher by 1.2 percent compared with the previous year.
Return on invested capital is reported at 13.63 percent in Q2 2026, up 0.8 percentage points from the year-earlier quarter, while the return on assets is given as minus 46.35 percent, reflecting the temporary impact of the negative net income despite a growing revenue base.
Fiscal year 2025 earnings volatility as a risk marker
In the annual performance analysis published by The Motley Fool, PVA TePla’s revenue for fiscal year 2025 is listed at EUR 244,257,000, down 9.6 percent from EUR 270,115,000 in fiscal year 2024.
The same table shows that diluted earnings per share fell sharply from EUR 1.25 for fiscal year 2024 to EUR 0.37 for fiscal year 2025, corresponding to a drop of 70.6 percent; this steep decline in EPS is a central argument in assessments that point to heightened valuation risk.
By contrast, revenue had previously grown strongly, with fiscal year 2023 revenue up 28.4 percent to EUR 263,446,000 from EUR 205,225,000 in 2022 and EPS rising 38.3 percent to EUR 1.12, underlining how quickly earnings momentum can shift for the company.
Market valuation metrics and earnings outlook
The TTM (trailing twelve-month) summary in the same data set compiled by The Motley Fool lists revenue at EUR 245.20 million and net income at EUR minus 1.40 million, implying a TTM EPS of EUR minus 0.07 and a corresponding price-to-earnings ratio of minus 466.96 at the current share price.
With a dividend of EUR 0.00 and a reported dividend yield of 0.00 percent, the stock is currently positioned as a pure growth and technology exposure within the TecDAX environment, rather than a yield play for income-oriented investors.
For investors, the combination of modest current revenue growth, negative trailing net income and a high implied P/E indicates that much of the share price reflects expectations of an earnings recovery in coming quarters, making execution on orders and margin improvement key to sustaining the positive analyst stance mentioned by wallstreetONLINE.
Segment exposure and industry positioning
According to the company profile section on The Motley Fool, PVA TePla operates two main segments: Semiconductor Systems and Industrial Systems.
The Semiconductor Systems segment includes crystal growing systems, plasma systems and metrology systems used in the production of semiconductor wafers and devices, while the Industrial Systems segment offers vacuum technologies for manufacturing structural materials for the semiconductor industry, aviation and aerospace, energy technology and hard metal tools.
This positioning means that the company’s revenue and profitability are closely tied to capital expenditure cycles in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced materials, which typically exhibit pronounced ups and downs and can amplify both earnings surges and subsequent corrections as seen between fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
Headcount and efficiency indicators
The same overview on The Motley Fool reports that PVA TePla employed 1,043 people in Q2 2026, with the number of employees rising 1.1 percent compared with the prior-year period.
Market capitalization per employee is indicated at EUR 0.89 million in Q2 2026, an increase of 1.9 percent year on year, reflecting both the higher share price and the moderate growth in headcount.
For investors, this metric helps to gauge how efficiently the company translates its workforce into market value and can serve as a comparative yardstick against other semiconductor equipment names in the TecDAX and broader European technology indices.
Debt, cash and funding flexibility
The Q2 2026 quarterly fundamentals assembled by The Motley Fool show that accounts receivable stood at EUR 103.41 million, up 1.1 percent, and inventory at EUR 74.88 million, up 1.0 percent year over year.
Operating cash flow for Q2 2026 is reported at EUR 3.65 million, which represents a decline of 1.4 percent compared with the year-earlier quarter; free cash flow is not available in this particular data set, but the combination of increased debt and slightly lower operating cash flow underscores why some analysts regard balance sheet development as a risk factor.
Nevertheless, the presence of around EUR 50.99 million in cash and cash equivalents and a manageable level of total debt at EUR 44.66 million suggests that PVA TePla has some flexibility to navigate short-term earnings pressure, provided that order intake and margins stabilize or improve.
Stock near multi-year gains but below peak
Performance statistics from The Motley Fool highlight that over five years the stock return is minus 9.55 percent from EUR 33.70 on September 10, 2021 to EUR 30.48 on September 9, 2026, even though the since-inception gain since 2002 is an impressive 1,095.8 percent.
The mixed picture of strong long-term appreciation, a positive one-year and year-to-date performance but negative five-year returns illustrates how cyclical and timing-sensitive investments in semiconductor equipment can be, making entry points and risk tolerance critical considerations for retail investors observing PVA TePla stock today.
Stock price and investor takeaway
Per the latest Xetra quotation in the data from The Motley Fool, PVA TePla stock trades at EUR 30.06 on September 10, 2026, with a 52-week low of EUR 19.78 and a 52-week high of EUR 46.50, and an indicated market capitalization of about EUR 653.03 million; the shares are currently well above the yearly low but still far below their recent peak.
