Comet Shares Soar on Analyst’s Buy Recommendation

Thu, May 23rd 2024

Comet’s shares surge as analysts see bright future in semiconductor market and ai.

A buy recommendation has caused Comet shares, a Swiss semiconductor equipment manufacturer, to surge. Analyst Michael Inauen of Zürcher Kantonalbank upgraded Comet shares from “market weight” to “overweight,” predicting a rise to 400 francs, well above the previous highs from late 2021. According to cash.

Inauen sees Comet as a significant beneficiary of the next semiconductor boom, highlighting its new medium-term goals of over 1Bn CHF in annual sales and substantial balance sheet improvements by the decade’s end. Confidence in these goals is expected to grow as day-to-day business predictability improves, leading to sustained double-digit sales growth.

Comet showcased its latest innovations at Semicon China 2024, highlighting its CA20 high-resolution X-ray system and Synertia® RF Power Delivery Platform. These technologies are set to drive advancements in microelectronic manufacturing, enhancing production efficiency and yield. Comet’s presence at Semicon China, with over 20 years in the market, underscores its pivotal role in the industry.

The positive market reaction to Inauen’s buy recommendation reflects growing confidence in Comet’s ability to capitalize on the semiconductor market’s growth, further bolstered by innovations showcased at major industry events like Semicon China.

Additionally, Temenos shares have faced pressure, still down 26% since January due to accusations from Hindenburg Research. Despite exoneration and increased holdings by major shareholders, Temenos remains under scrutiny, with Petrus Advisers demanding a 250 million franc share buyback to boost shareholder value.
