VAT Group's third-quarter orders surged 193% year on year to a record CHF 697 million, lifting its backlog to CHF 980 million. Sales rose 46% to CHF 376 million, while management now expects 2027 revenue well above its prior CHF 1.7 billion upper target.
Faster-than-expected ramp in leading-edge WFE spending would disproportionately benefit VAT given its higher share of wallet on leading-edge tools, driving revenue and margins above our base case.
A WFE downturn would compress profits, with simultaneous multiple compression amplifying share price drawdowns well beyond the earnings impact.
