Rationale
The exceptional 12-month momentum of 170.8% is driven by AI advanced packaging tailwinds and MDAX index inclusion, while quality is validated by a robust €330.1m order backlog and positive free cash flows [1, 2].
Material risks
- 1High execution and revenue-recognition risk, highlighted by a sharp year-on-year drop in Q1 2026 revenue and EPS despite record-high order inflows [1, 2].
- 2Geopolitical exposure from Taiwan expansion and the long-term risk of key customers reshoring or developing competitive advanced packaging capabilities in-house [2].
