AIXTRON Revises 2025 Outlook Amid Market Challenges

On October 17, 2025, AIXTRON SE announced an adjustment to its fiscal year 2025 forecast due to a challenging market environment and adverse foreign exchange effects. Preliminary Q3 2025 figures show an order intake of approximately EUR 124 million, down from EUR 143.4 million in Q3 2024. Revenues also declined to roughly EUR 120 million, compared to EUR 156.3 million the previous year.

Volume shifts impacted gross profit, resulting in about EUR 46 million, with a gross margin of 39%. Operating results reflected these challenges, with EBIT at EUR 15 million and a margin of 13%, both reduced from Q3 2024 metrics. With FX adjustments, AIXTRON anticipates full-year revenues between EUR 530 million and EUR 565 million, narrowing from an earlier range.

Despite these short-term hurdles, medium- and long-term growth prospects remain, bolstered by advancements in AI data center architectures. The complete Q3 2025 report is set for release on October 30, 2025.
