This development is due to the very good company figures, which have a lot to do with the Swiss company’s products in the environment of the rapidly growing global hydrogen economy. These are impressive numbers: The order volume of over 706.7 million CHF was a formidable 56.8 percent increase from the same period last year. Turnover growth was a good 25 percent in the first half of the year and turnover rose to 335.8 million CHF. Earnings per share even increased by 37.7 percent, to 7.23 CHF.
Burckhardt Compression has delivered very good figures as well as a perfect outlook. Its systems are necessary for among other things the compression and liquefaction of hydrogen (see p. 24). The current share price has now sufficiently factored in the figures in the company’s valuation. A big cash out might come out of this, with the share price development almost suggesting that the company could also become a candidate for takeover, as many large companies in the world are repositioning themselves and looking for interesting players for a synergistic acquisition.
