Comet Holding AG Reports Significant Q1 Growth

In the first quarter of 2025, Comet Holding AG delivered a notable performance with net sales of CHF 111.2 million, up 37.5% from CHF 80.9 million in the previous year. All divisions saw double-digit revenue increases, particularly led by Plasma Control Technologies (PCT). Incoming orders also rose to CHF 118.5 million, indicating a 30.2% growth over Q1/24, suggesting a promising second quarter.

Sector dynamics varied. Growth was primarily driven by semiconductor industry optimism, supported by AI demand and data center expansions. However, memory market demand lagged. Traditional sectors like automotive showed resilience despite macroeconomic challenges. Investment in capital goods is focusing on digitalization and automation.

Comet's strategy includes targeted investments in semiconductors and expanding product ranges, bolstering sales confidence for 2025. The X-Ray Systems and Modules divisions are capitalizing on innovation, exploring new market opportunities, and maintaining strong positions.
