Following the presentation of the Q3 figures in the early morning, the MDAX share initially shot up by almost 7% in the first ten minutes of trading on Xetra. 1.5 hours later, its performance was suddenly down around 4% on the previous day's close.
Let's take a look at the background to the turbulence: The results for the past quarter (sales: -5.3%; EBIT: -17.2%) were weaker than expected, and incoming orders were also clearly below consensus estimates despite an increase of 21%. Aixtron confirms the 2024 forecast, but is likely to end up at the lower end of the target corridors.
This is important because in a first official indication for 2025, the Management Board expects sales at the 2024 level or slightly below.
As things stand, sales of between EUR 575 million and EUR 630 million are likely to be realistic, which would mean a drop of around 10% at the lower end. A decline in EBIT must also be expected.
However, the continuing weakness in demand does not alter the very good prospects for the coming years. The expansion of certain capacities announced by STMicroelectronics as an Aixtron customer is proof of this.
Possible setbacks in the share price (DE000A0WMPJ6) would offer good entry opportunities
