VAT Group (ISIN CH0311864901) reported record third-quarter orders of CHF 696.60 million and sales of CHF 376.40 million on October 15, 2026, according to VAT Group. Orders rose 192.60 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while sales increased 45.90 percent.

Record orders reset the growth bar

The third-quarter order intake also climbed 39.30 percent from the second quarter, giving the vacuum-valve maker a book-to-bill ratio of 1.90. The company reported an order backlog of CHF 979.50 million, up 278.50 percent year on year, as demand for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment accelerated.

VAT said it added 450 employees during the third quarter and was on track to reach quarterly factory output of CHF 450.00 million by the end of 2026. Its 9-month order intake reached CHF 1,553.00 million, compared with CHF 727.40 million in the same period of 2025, according to VAT Group.

Three milestones show the acceleration

On July 22, 2026, VAT said first-half order intake had increased 75 percent, as shown on its VAT Group investor-relations page. On October 7, 2026, the company guided for third-quarter sales of CHF 355.00 million to CHF 385.00 million, according to MarketScreener. The October 15 result delivered CHF 376.40 million of sales and CHF 696.60 million of orders.

What does CHF 979.50 million mean?

The backlog gives VAT more visibility into coming production, but the mix still matters. Semiconductor orders reached CHF 538.20 million in the third quarter, up 270.20 percent year on year, while Global Service order intake rose 87.70 percent to CHF 101.00 million. VAT expects fourth-quarter sales of CHF 420.00 million to CHF 450.00 million and reiterated higher full-year 2026 orders, sales, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net income and free cash flow than in 2025.

Next reporting dates are set

VAT has scheduled its fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results for March 2, 2027, followed by a first-quarter 2027 trading update on April 15, 2027, according to the company's financial calendar in the VAT Group release. Those dates give the market two scheduled checkpoints for testing whether the order backlog converts into sales.

VAT Group stock stays tied to execution

The growth case now rests on production expansion, delivery timing and the conversion of record orders into revenue. VAT Group stock was trading at EUR 637.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 22, 2026 at 1:16 p.m. CEST.
