SUSS MicroTec (ISIN DE000A1K0235) was trading at EUR 54.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 21, 2026 at 10:50 a.m. CEST, up 1.26 percent versus the Xetra close of October 20, 2026 at EUR 54.00. The company had announced a strategic partnership with Ignite Next on October 13, 2026, according to SUSS MicroTec.
Partnership adds a strategic angle
The Ignite Next agreement connects SUSS MicroTec with a European deep-tech network focused on technology scouting, startup evaluation, expert exchange and innovation programs. The company described the partnership as an expansion of its innovation ecosystem, while the announcement did not attach a revenue or profit target.
The latest operating figures show why investors may view the partnership as a long-term complement rather than an immediate earnings driver. In the first half of 2026, revenue was EUR 202.80 million, down 23.90 percent from EUR 266.60 million a year earlier, while order intake rose 145.80 percent to EUR 410.00 million, according to FNE.
What does the backlog mean for 2026?
The first-half order intake exceeded the prior-year figure by EUR 243.20 million, but delivery timing remains central. The order book stood at EUR 473.70 million at the end of the first half, while management confirmed full-year revenue guidance of EUR 425.00 million to EUR 485.00 million and an EBIT margin range of 8.00 percent to 10.00 percent in the August 6, 2026 earnings call, reported by Yahoo Finance.
Three dates frame the story
On August 6, 2026, SUSS MicroTec reported EUR 410.00 million of first-half order intake. On October 8, 2026, Deutsche Bank Research raised its price target from EUR 96.00 to EUR 100.00, as reported by Borse Express. On October 13, 2026, the company announced the Ignite Next partnership.
When are the next results due?
The next substantiated reporting date is November 5, 2026, when SUSS MicroTec is scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 update. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether the strong order intake is converting into sales.
