The news check keeps the assessment current.
General analysis — not personal advice.
Maintain the current position. Consider a selective add (e.g., 5–10%) on a pullback or if Q3 confirms the strong order momentum (incl. vacuum/semiconductor) and resilient margins.
Strong order intake and confirmed Vacuum Technique growth support the HOLD signal despite margin pressure and the negative price reaction.
Sentiment remains positive with institutional support for record order intake and semiconductor demand, although margin pressure in Compressor Technique weighs on the near term.
HOLD is the call. Positive is the market mood. Low risk means less can go wrong.
