- The ATX closed Friday, November 6, 2026, down 1.18 percent at 6,434.80 points.
- The decline followed heavy losses on the Nasdaq in the previous session and was part of a broader European market retreat.
- AT&S fell 4.0 percent to 105.80 euros, while Lenzing, Voestalpine and Verbund also lost between 3 and 5 percent.
- A stronger-than-expected US employment report failed to provide lasting support for equities.
The ATX ended the Vienna Stock Exchange session on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 6,434.80 points, down 1.18 percent from the previous close of 6,511.40 points. The decline followed a volatile week for European equities and left Austria's leading index under pressure at the end of the trading week.
According to a dpa-AFX report published by onvista, European markets were affected by the sharp losses on the US Nasdaq in the previous session. The Nasdaq 100 recovered somewhat during Friday's trading, but that improvement did not translate into sustained support for the Vienna market.
Technology and industrial shares weigh
AT&S was among the largest drags on the Austrian benchmark. The semiconductor and printed-circuit-board group fell another 4.0 percent to 105.80 euros after a double-digit loss on Thursday. The report noted that the share price had nevertheless more than tripled since the beginning of the year. Deutsche Bank lowered its price target for AT&S from 380 to 220 euros following the company's latest results while maintaining a buy recommendation.
Lenzing, Voestalpine and Verbund also posted losses of between 3 and 5 percent. For Verbund, Baader Bank maintained its reduce recommendation following the utility's recent results. These individual declines added to the pressure on the broader index, although the ATX's daily move cannot be attributed to any single constituent on the available evidence.
US data offers little lasting relief
The US employment report for October, released on Friday afternoon, was stronger than expected. However, the improvement did not have a lasting effect on equity markets, according to the dpa-AFX account. Investors therefore entered the weekend with the earlier technology-led risk aversion still shaping the European market backdrop.
