How to Read This Chart

This chart tracks the historical stock price of VAT Group over time. You can switch between daily, weekly, and monthly views and select custom time ranges — from a single day to the full available history. Use the toggle to view price changes in absolute currency terms or as a percentage change relative to the starting date.

Total Return vs. Price Return

The "Total Return" toggle includes reinvested dividends on top of the pure price movement. This is critical because dividends can account for a significant portion of long-term returns. Historically, roughly 40 % of the S&P 500's total return has come from dividends. Always compare total return when evaluating a stock's real performance against a benchmark.

Intraday Price Data

When viewing a one-day time frame, the chart displays real-time intraday price movements. This is useful for observing how VAT Group stock reacts to market openings, earnings releases, or breaking news throughout the trading session.

What to Look For

Look for long-term trends (sustained upward or downward movements over months and years), support and resistance levels (price zones where the stock repeatedly bounces or reverses), and volatility (how much the price fluctuates day to day). Comparing VAT Group's price chart to a market index like the S&P 500 can reveal whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming the broader market.

Income Statement Key Figures

ⓘ

Revenue and Revenue Growth

Revenue is the starting point of every income statement — it measures the total sales VAT Group generates from its core business. Revenue growth (expressed as year-over-year percentage change) is one of the most important indicators of business momentum. Sustained growth above 10 % annually is generally considered strong, while declining revenue is a serious warning sign that demands investigation.

Gross Margin

Gross margin = (Revenue − Cost of Goods Sold) ÷ Revenue. It reveals what percentage of each dollar of revenue VAT Group retains after direct production costs. High gross margins (above 50 %) are typical of asset-light businesses like software and brands, while capital-intensive industries like manufacturing often operate below 30 %. Compare VAT Group's gross margin to industry peers and track it over time to spot improving or deteriorating pricing power.

EBIT and EBIT Margin

EBIT measures operating profit — what remains after subtracting all operating expenses (including R&D, sales, and administrative costs) from gross profit. The EBIT margin shows this as a percentage of revenue. Because it excludes interest and taxes, EBIT allows fair comparisons between companies with different debt levels and tax jurisdictions. A rising EBIT margin indicates improving operational efficiency.

Net Income and Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Net income is the company's final profit after all expenses, interest, and taxes. Dividing net income by the number of shares outstanding gives you EPS — the single most influential metric in stock valuation. Consistent EPS growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Always check whether EPS growth comes from genuine profit improvement or from share buybacks reducing the share count.

Shares Outstanding

The total number of shares VAT Group has issued. A declining share count (through buybacks) boosts EPS and signals management confidence. A rising share count (through stock issuance) dilutes existing shareholders. Always monitor this number alongside EPS to get the full picture of per-share value creation.

Analyst Estimates

The projected figures represent consensus estimates from professional analysts. Compare these forecasts against VAT Group's historical growth rates to assess whether expectations are realistic. A company that consistently beats consensus estimates tends to see its stock price rewarded over time, while repeated misses erode investor confidence.

VAT Group stock margins

The VAT Group margin analysis displays the gross margin, EBIT margin, as well as the profit margin of VAT Group. The EBIT margin (EBIT/sales) indicates the percentage of sales that remains as operating profit. The profit margin shows the percentage of sales that remains for VAT Group.

The VAT Group AG is a surface technology company that supplies vacuum valves and other precision parts for semiconductor and industrial vacuum applications. The company is headquartered in Haag, Switzerland, and has subsidiaries and production facilities in Europe, Asia, and the US. The history of VAT began in the 1960s when engineer Edgar E. Philipp founded the company Vacuum-Applied Technology (VAT) in Haag. VAT's early products were vacuum pumps and components for the semiconductor industry. VAT quickly became a leading provider of vacuum components and soon expanded to Asia and Europe. Over the following decades, the company expanded its portfolio to include various products, such as gate valves and transfer pumps. In 2016, VAT was converted into a joint-stock company and publicly traded on the Swiss stock exchange. The IPO was a great success, and VAT quickly achieved a market capitalization of over 2 billion Swiss francs.

VAT Group SWOT Analysis

Strengths

VAT Group AG is a leading global provider of vacuum valves and related vacuum components used in various industries. The company has built a strong reputation for its high-quality products and innovative solutions, which has contributed to its market dominance and customer loyalty. VAT Group AG's extensive product portfolio and advanced technology give it a competitive edge, enabling it to cater to diverse customer needs. The company also benefits from its global presence, with a widespread sales and service network, ensuring timely product delivery and efficient customer support.

Weaknesses

Despite its strengths, VAT Group AG faces certain weaknesses that could impact its business. One of the weaknesses is its dependency on specific industries, such as semiconductor manufacturing and analytical instrumentation. This concentration makes the company vulnerable to fluctuations in these industries' demand and overall economic conditions. The complex and technically demanding nature of VAT Group AG's products also presents challenges in terms of production efficiency and potential errors. Additionally, the company's high-end positioning may limit its market reach in price-sensitive segments.

Opportunities

VAT Group AG has opportunities for growth and expansion in multiple areas. The increasing demand for semiconductor devices, advanced analytics, and renewable energy solutions offers a favorable market outlook for the company's products. VAT's expertise in vacuum technology positions it well to benefit from the growing trend of miniaturization and innovation in these industries. The company can also explore partnerships and collaborations to expand its product offerings or enter new geographic markets. Additionally, VAT Group AG can leverage digitalization and automation trends to enhance operational efficiency and improve customer experience.

Threats

VAT Group AG operates in a competitive market, facing threats from both existing players and potential new entrants. The industry's high barriers to entry, including the need for specialized knowledge and significant investments in research and development, provide some protection for VAT Group AG. However, the company must continue to stay ahead in terms of technological advancements to withstand competitive pressures. Regulatory changes, economic downturns, and geopolitical factors could also pose threats to VAT's business operations, especially as it operates globally and relies on international trade.

Fair Value Estimate

ⓘ

What Is Fair Value?

Fair value is an estimate of what a stock is truly "worth" based on its financial fundamentals, independent of the current market price. If the calculated fair value is above the current share price, the stock may be undervalued — and vice versa. This chart shows three different fair value approaches so you can cross-check them against each other.

Earnings-Based Fair Value

Calculated by multiplying the current earnings per share (EPS) by the average historical P/E ratio over a selected multi-year period. The smoothing over several years filters out temporary spikes or dips. If this fair value exceeds the market price, it suggests the stock is cheap relative to its earning power.

Example: Fair Value (Earnings) 2022 = EPS 2022 × Average P/E 2019–2021

Revenue-Based Fair Value

Derived by multiplying revenue per share by the average historical price-to-sales ratio. This method is particularly useful for companies with volatile or temporarily depressed earnings, as revenue tends to be more stable than profits. It answers: "At what price has the market historically valued each dollar of this company's sales?"

Example: Fair Value (Revenue) 2022 = Revenue per Share 2022 × Average P/S 2019–2021

Dividend-Based Fair Value

Calculated by dividing the dividend per share by the average historical dividend yield. This approach is most relevant for mature, consistently dividend-paying companies. If the resulting fair value is higher than the current price, it implies the stock offers a better yield than its historical average.

Example: Fair Value (Dividend) 2022 = Dividend per Share 2022 ÷ Average Yield 2019–2021

How to Use This Chart

When all three fair value lines converge above the current price, it strengthens the case that the stock is undervalued. When they diverge, investigate why — it may indicate a structural shift in margins, payout policy, or growth rate. The forward estimates on the right extend the analysis using projected fundamentals, helping you assess whether the current price already reflects future growth expectations.

VAT Group annual returns

Annual Return

ⓘ

What This Chart Shows

This chart breaks down 's total annual return into two components: price return (gains or losses from stock price movement) and dividend return (income received from dividend payments). Together, they represent the total return an investor would have earned in each calendar year.

Price Return

Price return measures the percentage change in 's stock price from January 1st to December 31st of each year. Positive bars indicate the stock appreciated; negative bars show a decline. This is the component most investors focus on, but it tells only part of the story — especially for dividend-paying stocks.

Dividend Return

Dividend return represents the income generated from dividends paid during the year, expressed as a percentage of the starting stock price. While it may seem small in any single year (typically 1–4 % for established companies), dividends compound significantly over decades and have historically contributed roughly 40 % of total stock market returns.

What to Look For

Examine how many years showed positive vs. negative returns to gauge consistency. A stock with mostly positive years and small drawdowns suggests lower risk. Also compare 's annual returns to a benchmark index — consistently outperforming the market is a hallmark of a strong investment. Pay attention to the worst years: understanding downside risk is just as important as chasing upside potential.

VAT Group shares outstanding

The number of shares of VAT Group was 29.95 M in 2025. This indicates how many shares VAT Group is divided into. Since shareholders are the owners of a company, each share represents a small portion of the company's ownership.
