VAT Group stock (ISIN CH0311864901) gained 2.79 percent to CHF 699.40 on the SIX Swiss Exchange on October 2, 2026. The move came as recent coverage highlighted first-half sales of CHF 511.89 million and a 75 percent increase in order intake.

Orders strengthen the growth case

According to Simply Wall St in its October 2, 2026 review, VAT Group reported first-half 2026 sales of CHF 511.89 million and maintained full-year guidance. The same review states that first-half order intake increased 75 percent to CHF 856 million, creating a sharper contrast between demand and reported sales.

The order figure matters because VAT Group supplies vacuum valves and related modules used in semiconductor production. Its business is therefore tied to investment cycles in chip manufacturing, while the first-half sales figure shows that order momentum has yet to translate fully into reported revenue.

Analysts see limited upside

Business Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that the analyst consensus was Moderate Buy with an average price target of CHF 729.17. Against the CHF 699.40 reference price, that target is 4.3 percent above the stock.

The same report said Vontobel assigned a Buy rating on September 18, 2026, while UBS maintained a Buy rating with a CHF 800.00 target in a report dated September 8, 2026. These targets show a wide range of expectations, with the average target offering less room than the most optimistic individual view.
