OC Oerlikon Corp AG : Execution pure play – Small is beautiful, isn’t it?

The H1 2025 results due 5 August 2025 will offer a first glimpse of the new OC Oerlikon, with Barmag (former Polymer Processing division ex HRSflow) classified as discontinued operations. We expect the new OC Oerlikon to be more resilient to economic cycles, offer higher growth and margin potential, but also to have an asset-heavier business model. We have adjusted our target price from CHF 4.00 to CHF 4.30 and reiterate our Neutral rating. But we also describe the way forward for the group to become a more compelling investment case (and the risk of being a less attractive equity story).
