AT&S: High-tech substrates as a key component of the AI era and beneficiary of the Intel renaissance!

AT&S as one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-end printed circuit boards and IC substrates, supplies the physical skeleton on which microchips are enthroned. The structural growth drivers are the shift from monolithic designs to complex chiplet architectures. Compared to 2019, server ICs will require 4 times the net area and 8 times the production capacity by 2025. Without these highly complex substrates, the computing power of modern processors would remain unused. The disadvantage is that AT&S will always have to invest heavily in order to remain competitive.

The Austrian company AT&S is now one of the top gainers on the stock market. The Austrians report: "Data centers and servers remain the drivers: Demand here remains stable. High-quality products developed for artificial intelligence are particularly in demand. The trend towards high-quality IC substrates is also continuing here, from which AT&S will continue to benefit." The high-tech substrates are indispensable as central key components of modern AI chips.

AT&S - Austria Technologie & Systemtechnik is the European market leader in the manufacture and sale of printed circuit boards.

AT & S Austria: Microelectronics patent leader sets new impulses through electromobility and defense

According to an analysis using the Patentsight tool, the Styrian microelectronics company currently has by far the highest patent quality in the HDI (High Density Interconnect) segment among the ten leading electronics manufacturers worldwide. After two consecutive years in the top position, the company was even able to extend its lead over the competition last year, as AT & S announced on October 10, 2025. The share has been on an upward trend since the end of December 2024 and has risen by 195% since then.

AT&S has positioned itself as the backbone of the global AI infrastructure and is benefiting from the technological shift towards modular chiplet designs. While data centers worldwide are thirsting for more power, AT&S supplies the necessary substrates, whose space requirements and complexity are increasing exponentially in the new AI era. Thanks to a close strategic alliance with Intel, the company occupies a critical key role in the semiconductor supply chain. AT&S is poised for a strong net profit increase by 2028!

High-tech from Austria: More than just printed circuit boards

When talking about the giants of the semiconductor industry, Silicon Valley or Taiwan often come to mind first. But a crucial piece of the modern electronics puzzle comes from Austria. Since it was founded in 1987, AT&S has developed from a traditional printed circuit board manufacturer into one of the world's leading suppliers of high-end interconnect solutions. Today, AT&S ranks 6th worldwide among high-end printed circuit board manufacturers and 5th for so-called ABF substrates. The latter are the highly complex carrier materials on which microchips are mounted. They form the interface between the tiny silicon die (single, still unhoused piece of semiconductor material) and the rest of the hardware. In a world where electronics must become ever smaller, faster and more powerful, this interconnection technology is a limiting factor for the overall performance of the system.

The AI turbo: when data volume demands space

Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently the strongest growth driver for the semiconductor industry. AT&S is in the front row here. Modern AI accelerators for data centers can no longer be manufactured as "monolithic" individual chips - i.e. as a single, huge component from a single casting. Such chips would be too error-prone and expensive to produce. Instead, the industry relies on the "Lego principle", so-called "chiplets". Here, various specialized functional units such as computing cores, graphics units and memory controllers are manufactured separately and only combined on a common substrate at the end. This trend towards functional integration plays directly into AT&S's hands. While a server IC was often still a simple single chip in 2019, the designs for 2025 require four times the substrate area and eight times the capacity. AT&S supplies the necessary IC substrates for this, which are not only larger, but also significantly more complex thanks to more layers and the finest connection technologies. The power supply is particularly critical. AI chips have an enormous power density. This is where AT&S scores with special embedding technology that integrates power modules directly into the PCB to minimize losses. In conjunction with state-of-the-art packaging concepts such as CoWoS (chip-on-wafer-on-substrate) or Intel's EMIB, AT&S is becoming an indispensable partner for the realization of supercomputers.

Renaissance by Intel and a look into the future

For a long time, the strong dependence on a few major customers was seen as a risk. However, the strategic partnership with Intel could now prove to be the decisive lever for a renaissance. Intel is investing in advanced packaging technologies such as EMIB, for which AT&S supplies the corresponding high-end substrates. The opening of new capacities, for example in Kulim, Malaysia, or the expansions in Leoben, are aimed precisely at this high-end market. Without the substrates from AT&S, Intel would not be able to physically install its most powerful processors for data centers and AI applications in computers or servers.

P/E ratio of 13 as of 2028

AT&S has to invest heavily to keep pace with the competition. A capex of EUR 250 million is planned for the current year 2025/26. With revenue of EUR 1.7 billion, the EBITDA margin is likely to end up at 23%. At the bottom line, the consensus expects an EPS loss of EUR 2.27. The turnaround should start in 2026/27. Turnover is set to soar to between 2.1 and 2.4 billion euros. The EBITDA margin should be 24 to 28%. AT&S should earn around EUR 0.76 net. Another year later, 3.06 euros are in the cards, bringing the P/E ratio down to 13.3. AT&S is cyclical and relies on high investments. This makes the share more interesting for traders who want to play the current upward trend in the AI profiteer than for investors.

My dears, but I also see good potential over a longer-term period due to the growth and the P/E ratio.

AT&S achieves positive net income again in the 3rd quarter

(03.02.2026 / 07:00 CET/CEST)

• Revenue increases by 10% to € 1.3 billion in the first three quarters of 2025/26 compared to 2024/25
• EBITDA of € 297 million corresponds to a margin of 22.6
• Plants in Kulim and Leoben are developing as planned and contributing to sales as expected
• Exchange rate developments affect sales, earnings and equity
• Outlook for financial years 2025/26 and 2026/27 confirmed

Outlook 2025/26

AT&S expects to generate annual revenue of around € 1.7 billion in the financial year 2025/26 (2024/25: € 1,590 million), which corresponds to operational growth - adjusted for currency effects and the sold plant in Ansan - of around 20% compared with the previous year. At around 23%, the expected EBITDA margin will still reflect the start-up costs of the additional lines in Kulim (2024/25 incl. proceeds from the sale of the plant in Ansan, Korea: 38.1%; adjusted for proceeds: 17.7%). Management is planning an investment volume of around € 200 million (2024/25: € 415 million). The majority of these investments will flow into the expansion of IC substrate production at the new plant in Kulim. AT&S expects EBIT and operating free cash flow to be positive.

Outlook 2026/27

AT&S expects demand for products with high added value to remain strong and growing, especially for generative artificial intelligence. However, established markets such as servers for companies, PCs & notebooks have also recovered. AT&S has also decided to serve the defense sector more strongly in the future. In addition, the company will work even more closely with its customers in future to ensure that production increases can be implemented reliably. At the same time, this close cooperation will contribute to the structured introduction of new products and strengthen joint development activities in the long term. Against this positive market backdrop, AT&S currently expects to generate revenue of around € 2.1 to 2.4 billion and an EBITDA margin of 24 to 28% in the financial year 2026/27.

The rise of $NVDA (-0,75%) and other tech stocks, more and more investors have been drawn into the semiconductor industry in recent months and years. However, due to the enormous size and complexity of the industry, it is not easy to keep track of who is contributing to the global market now and how, and which stocks could outperform the market in the future.

1) What is the semiconductor industry doing?

The semiconductor industry basically manufactures microchips as an end product, which consist of millions and millions of tiny switches. These products have become an integral part of our lives and can be found everywhere. Examples include the data centers of $GOOGL (-0,17%) smartphones from $AAPL (-0,23%) , drives and inverters from $TSLA (-0,24%) or $SIE (-0,91%) or in the systems of $UKW (-0,82%) . But also toothbrushes, ATM cards, passports, watches, lamps, and and and...

2) But the best microchips are made by $NVDA (-0,75%) ?

Yes, in the area of graphics processors... If you look at the Semicondutor Top100, many well-known names appear: $AVGO (-0,07%) and $QCOM (-0,41%) for communication, $AMD (-0,68%) and $INTC (-0,99%) for processors for PCs, $TXN (-0,9%) and $STM for discrete components, $IFX (-0,61%) and $NXPI (+0%) systems for the automotive industry and security solutions and many more...

3) Aren't the manufacturers taking market share away from each other?

No, because each company specializes in its own field and is the world market leader in one area. You can think of it like the automobile industry: Lamborghini makes sports cars, Landrover makes jeeps... Could Landrover make sports cars? Sure. Would they be good? If enough money and time is invested, certainly. Would that make sense? Probably less. And that is precisely where the value of semiconductor manufacturers lies. As the products themselves are highly complex, the know-how has to be built up over decades. The development is associated with extremely high costs and project durations from idea to mass production are rarely less than 3-4 years. That is why it would not make sense for e.g. $NVDA (-0,75%) would not make sense to enter the power sector, as established players with a head start of many years have already established themselves there.

4) How are microchips built now?

Many steps are required to manufacture microchips. The engineers at the semiconductor manufacturers develop the circuits for the final products. As the structure sizes are in the nano-meter range, they have to rely on simulation environments such as $CDNS (-0,33%) or $SNPS (-0,19%) simulation environments. Once the engineers have developed and checked everything (a non-existent first-time-right costs many millions!), the data is sent to the fabs. Depending on the manufacturer, the in-house ($005930 , $STM , $IFX (-0,61%) ) or, as in the case of e.g. $NVDA (-0,75%) external. In other words, Nvidia itself only develops the "schematics" for projects, the final product comes, for example, from $TSM (+0,62%) or $GFS (-0,7%) . These fabs take orders from many different manufacturers and produce the products in close coordination with the manufacturers millions and billions of times...

5) How do the fabs produce the microchips?

As complex as the microchips are, the production itself is just as complex. In order to be able to create structures of just a few nanometers, clean rooms are required that are many times cleaner than operating theatres. These cleanrooms are now home to machines from $ASML (-1,61%) , $AMAT (-0,11%) or $7751 (-1,27%) . These machines now manufacture 24h on the basis of various semiconductor materials such as from $ATS (+2,88%) or $WOLF the finished products. These are sent back to the manufacturers, checked (in a first phase manually by the engineers with products from e.g: $KEYS (-0,17%) , later fully automatically with e.g. $TEK ) and then sold. Here again there are intermediaries such as $SMCI,
$SIE (-0,91%) or $AAPL (-0,23%) who buy finished microchips and process them for larger products. Interesting here: Apple, for example, develops many things itself, but buys know-how and products from other companies because the entire development would be far too complex. In other words, semiconductors from many different manufacturers can be found in Apple products or other products - so there is also a great deal of interdependence, depending on the core competence.

6) What will be NVIDIA's No. 1 pursuer?

Hard to say. As described, the entire semiconductor industry is very closely linked. Different companies will benefit from the global trends. Be it the companies in the first row (manufacturers) as well as those in the second and third (fabs, suppliers, software, end customers,...) The interdependence results in enormous opportunities for many companies but also many risks - for example, if Taiwan is attacked $NVDA (-0,75%) with production of $TSM (+0,62%) (not just Nvidia but virtually the entire industry) and the market shifts completely.

Addons:

• No guarantee of completeness or correctness, the entire industry is very extensive.
• If you are interested in this sector: A very good explanation of the entire process can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kj58yQ67KI . Here it also becomes clear once again how large the sales figures (and thus also the risks of the companies) must be for the R&D and production costs to pay off. Remember the project durations here - who knows what will be important in 5 years?

Hey,

I am 16 years old and have been interested and investing for about 2 years. I go to a vocational school in the electronics and computer science branch. My teacher and my cousin introduced me to stocks and crypto. I don't really have a strategy at the moment and just want to gain experience and gamble a little.

I'm thinking to myself that I'm young and want to raise some money for my start in life (first apartment, car, etc.). And instead of leaving my money lying around in my bank account and letting it dwindle due to inflation, I'd rather invest in shares and make a little profit.

$XRP (+1,45%) I simply bought them for gambling. I saw this on The Simsons and thought I'd give it a try.

$BTC (+1,38%) For me, it's just the standard coin you should have because I think there's still a lot of room for improvement.

With $ETH (+1,68%) at school and I thought it was just great.

$1810 (-0,72%) I bought it because I think the products are good and I think this company will achieve a lot more.

$$ESGB (+0,29%) I get 2 of them every year from my cousin. One for my birthday and one for Christmas.

$WITS (-0,36%) I bought them because I (have to) deal with this kind of thing a lot at school. And I'm relatively well versed in this area.

$ATS (+2,88%) I want to buy 4-5 pieces in the near future because I think the price is too cheap. And I generally think that companies that produce semiconductors will become even more important in the future than they already are.

$SGML (+0,68%) I also want to buy some more shares. I think that lithium will become very important because this raw material is needed for so many things.

Do you have any tips or feedback for me? I would be delighted.

I think in the long term a very good course to enter!
