LPKF Laser & Electronics stock was trading at EUR 12.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. CEST, down 6.31 percent versus the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 13.00. The central issue remains the revenue and margin reset announced on September 30, 2026.
Guidance falls to EUR 93 million
According to EQS News on September 30, 2026, LPKF cut its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to EUR 93 million to EUR 100 million from EUR 105 million to EUR 120 million. Adjusted EBIT margin guidance moved to negative 7.00 percent to negative 2.50 percent from negative 3.00 percent to positive 4.50 percent, after a larger solar order and Advanced Packaging orders were delayed.
The company also said its efficiency program had delivered cost reductions above the targeted level. That offsets part of the revenue pressure, but the revised range still points to a full-year adjusted operating loss.
What does the target imply?
EQS News reported on October 1, 2026 that Montega retained its Buy rating and EUR 22.00 target. The target lies 80.62 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price, making execution of the delayed orders the key test for the valuation.
Three dates frame the reset
On July 23, 2026, LPKF reported first-half revenue of EUR 36.50 million and adjusted EBIT of negative EUR 10.40 million, according to Yahoo Finance. On September 30, 2026, LPKF reduced fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to EUR 93 million to EUR 100 million. On October 1, 2026, Montega retained its EUR 22.00 target.
Next report is October 29
The next substantiated date is October 29, 2026, when LPKF is scheduled to publish its quarterly financial report for the first nine months of 2026. The report should show whether delayed solar and Advanced Packaging orders are beginning to convert into revenue.
Stock reflects the pressure
LPKF shares remain inside the EUR 5.35 to EUR 30.80 52-week range as of October 15, 2026. The current quote is closer to the lower end of that interval, while the company must still demonstrate that its efficiency program can support the planned LIDE expansion.
LPKF Laser & Electronics was trading at EUR 12.18 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 12:31 p.m. CEST, 6.31 percent below the Xetra close of October 14, 2026 at EUR 13.00. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of LPKF Laser & Electronics stock.
