Singulus Technologies Reports Robust First‑Half 2026 Results
The German industrial‑machinery specialist, Singulus Technologies AG, announced a decisive turnaround in its first‑half performance for 2026. Revenue rose to €45.3 million from €31.3 million a year earlier, while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) flipped from a loss of €1.3 million to a profit of €2.7 million. The company’s gross margin improved to 33.5 %, surpassing the previous year’s 31.9 %.
Strengthening the Financial Base
In March 2026 Singulus entered into a partnership with a global technology leader, a move that enabled the company to refinance its debt structure. Existing bonds and loans were fully repaid and replaced with a long‑term financing instrument, providing a more solid capital base and additional flexibility for executing its growth strategy. As of 30 June 2026, free liquid cash stood at €6.8 million—an increase from €6.2 million at year‑end 2025.
Order Book and Pipeline
Order inflow surged to €37.9 million, up from €21.1 million a year prior. The company’s backlog at 30 June 2026 was €55.1 million, underscoring strong demand across its core segments. A first order in the solar sector, valued in the low double‑digit millions, has already been secured as part of the new strategic alliance.
Expanded Product Footprint
Singulus continues to broaden its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and new collaborations:
| Segment | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Solar | Introduction of vacuum‑coating platform TIMARIS for sensor and spintronics applications; new research facility expansion. |
| Life Science | Joint development of the MEDLINE platform, positioning Singulus to offer integrated solutions in biopharma manufacturing. |
| Decorative Coatings | Partnerships with a leading French cosmetics manufacturer and European production firms. |
| Semiconductor & Sensor | New contracts for modular vacuum coating systems, reinforcing its leadership in magnetic layers and specialized semiconductor coatings. |
| Printed Circuit Boards & Thermoprocessing | Acquisition of former MASS GmbH’s activities expands capabilities in PCB manufacturing and industrial drying technologies. |
Outlook
Management has reaffirmed its 2026 full‑year guidance, confident that the upward trend in revenue, EBIT, and gross margin will continue. The reinforced financial footing, combined with a growing order backlog, positions Singulus to capture increasing demand in optical media, solar, semiconductor, and life‑science markets.
With a market capitalization of approximately €66.4 million and a current share price of €7.34 (as of 10 August 2026), the company’s stock reflects a company that has successfully reversed its negative earnings trend while securing a robust pipeline of high‑margin projects. Investors can expect continued momentum as Singulus leverages its diversified technology portfolio and newly strengthened capital base.
