VAT Group stock (ISIN CH0311864901) closed at CHF 316.00 on September 18, 2026, after a 1.8 percent gain, while the most recent half-year 2026 update showed revenue up 9.7 percent to CHF 557.0 million and EBITDA at CHF 167.3 million.

Half-year numbers set the tone

The latest reported figures give investors a clear base: revenue of CHF 557.0 million in half-year 2026 and EBITDA of CHF 167.3 million. That combination points to a business that is still expanding, even after a period of uneven semiconductor-related demand.

For comparison, the half-year revenue increase of 9.7 percent is the key number in the update. The margin picture matters as much as the top line, because EBITDA grew from a lower base and shows that VAT Group is still converting sales into operating profit.

Price near the upper band

The stock ended the session on September 18, 2026 at CHF 316.00, up 1.8 percent from the prior close of CHF 310.40. That places the shares close to the upper half of their recent range and gives the market a higher starting point for the next catalyst.

For investors, the tension is now between the improved half-year figures and how quickly the next demand cycle translates into further earnings growth. The move from CHF 310.40 to CHF 316.00 is modest, but it confirms that the market is still willing to pay for the growth story.

What comes next

The next dated reference point for the company is the ongoing comparison with half-year 2025, where revenue was lower by 9.7 percent and EBITDA was also below the latest figure. That makes the September 18, 2026 closing price and the half-year 2026 update the two anchors investors are likely to watch most closely.
