VAT Group (CH0311864901) stock traded at CHF 604.60 on September 3, 2026, down 0.5 percent in SIX SX trading, after touching CHF 603.20 intraday and opening at CHF 606.80. The same-day move leaves the Swiss industrial supplier well below its 52-week high of CHF 727.20.
Market tone in Zurich
At 12:28, turnover reached 5,180 shares, while MarketScreener showed a last close of CHF 607.40 and a year-to-date gain of 57.03 percent for the name. The combination of a still-strong 2026 run and a modest intraday pullback keeps the chart in view for short-term traders.
According to MarketScreener company data, the average target price stands at CHF 707.78 and the consensus rating is Outperform, based on 18 analysts. That leaves the stock 16.53 percent below the average target, a gap investors tend to watch alongside the price swing.
Sales still set the tone
The latest reported annual sales figures visible in the same market data source show Valves revenue at CHF 952 million in 2025, up from CHF 843 million in 2024, while Global Service rose to CHF 199 million from CHF 168 million. That is a concrete year-over-year comparison that still frames expectations for the vacuum-valve business.
China remained the largest regional market in 2025 at CHF 348 million, up from CHF 281 million in 2024, while the United States contributed CHF 161 million, down from CHF 173 million. For investors, the mix matters because semiconductors and related tools still drive the group's sales profile.
Valves drive the mix
VAT Group AG is based in Haag and operates in Industrial Machinery and Equipment, with vacuum valves as its core product line. The business split into Valves, Global Services and Industry remains the right lens for reading the revenue mix and the China-led growth profile.
