Suess Microtec (ISIN DE000A1K0235) was trading at EUR 54.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:36 a.m. CEST, down 3.23 percent versus the Xetra close of October 19, 2026, at EUR 55.80. The stock's market backdrop combines a EUR 473.70 million order backlog with a weaker first-half income statement.

On October 13, 2026, SUSS MicroTec announced a strategic partnership with Ignite Next, extending its access to a European deep-tech network. The company also reported fiscal-year 2025 revenue of EUR 503.20 million, gross margin of 35.70 percent and EBIT margin of 13.10 percent on its investor-relations page.

What does the backlog change?

The order picture improved sharply during the first half of 2026. According to FNE, order intake rose 145.80 percent year over year to EUR 410.00 million from EUR 166.80 million, while the order backlog reached EUR 473.70 million compared with EUR 325.60 million a year earlier. The backlog gives the company a stronger delivery base, but its conversion into revenue remains the key operating test.

Revenue moved in the opposite direction. First-half 2026 revenue fell 23.90 percent to EUR 202.80 million from EUR 266.60 million, while EBIT declined to EUR 14.20 million and the EBIT margin stood at 7.00 percent, according to FNE. The contrast between orders and recognized sales explains why the backlog matters more than the latest revenue line for the next update.

Three dates define the next phase

On October 1, 2026, SUSS launched GreenTec Solutions and the GT200 wafer-cleaning system. On October 13, 2026, the company announced the Ignite Next partnership. On October 20, 2026, the stock was trading at EUR 54.00, down 3.23 percent versus the Xetra close of October 19, 2026, at EUR 55.80.

Which dates matter next?

FNE lists November 5, 2026, for the quarterly statement covering September 30, 2026, followed by the Morgan Stanley TMT conference from November 18 to November 20, 2026. The quarterly release should show whether the high order intake is reaching deliveries and margins.

Stock valuation and operating test

Suess Microtec's 52-week range was EUR 26.30 to EUR 111.40 as of October 20, 2026, while market capitalization stood at EUR 1.0 billion. The next report therefore has two measurable tests: order conversion and profitability against the fiscal-year 2026 outlook of EUR 425.00 million to EUR 485.00 million in revenue and an EBIT margin of 8.00 percent to 10.00 percent, as reported by FNE.

The stock was trading at EUR 54.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026, at 10:36 a.m. CEST, 3.23 percent below the Xetra close of October 19, 2026, at EUR 55.80. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Suess Microtec stock.
