Mycronic Investment Narrative Recap
To own Mycronic, you need to believe its Pattern Generators business can keep converting photomask demand into profitable, high value tool orders while High Volume and Global Technologies provide support when cycles soften.

The most relevant recent announcement is the April 2026 custom SLX order from a new Asian customer worth US$27–30 million, with delivery in 2028.

Mycronic's narrative projects SEK12.6 billion revenue and SEK2.9 billion earnings by 2029. This requires 13.3% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about SEK1.2 billion from SEK1.7 billion today.
Uncover how Mycronic's forecasts yield a SEK311.50 fair value, a 3% downside to its current price.
Exploring Other Perspectives
The most pessimistic analysts were assuming only about 6.5 percent annual revenue growth to roughly SEK10.4 billion and SEK2.2 billion in earnings by 2029, so if you worry that concentrated Pattern Generators customers and past order droughts could limit future SLX refresh cycles, this new Asian order might challenge some of those assumptions and is a good reason to compare how different forecasts line up with your own view.
