The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

Bachem Holding is the Swiss-peptide-and-oligonucleotide-API franchise at 79%-of-range — Q2 EPS +43% surprise plus 35% YoY revenue growth plus 4-quarter beat streak is the substance.

Bachem Holding AG (ADR) is a specific US-listed Swiss peptide-and-oligonucleotide-API franchise — R&D through commercialization of peptide and oligonucleotide NCEs plus generic APIs for global pharmaceutical/biotech customers. Flat today, YTD n/a (ADR history), t12m n/a, sitting at the 79th percentile of the 52-week range on a Q2-beat tape.

Where it stands after Q2:

  • The Q2 print was a specific beat: EPS $0.83 vs $0.58 estimate (+43%) plus revenue $404M vs $402M — Multi-quarter revenue at $313M-$482M with 13-35% YoY growth (accounting-mix quarterly reporting), gross margin 25-33%, operating margin 16-27%, and EPS $0.67, $1.32, $1.67, $0.67 (semi-annual reporting cadence).
  • The valuation is elevated but consistent with quality-plus-growth: TTM P/E of 38, forward P/E of 38 on FY26 EPS estimates of $2.29 rising to FY27 $2.95 and FY28 $3.52 (n=1 EPS analyst but n=9 revenue analysts). Price-to-sales of 7.9, EV/EBITDA of 30.4, ROE 10.3%, ROIC 6.4% describe a specific quality-plus-scale premium setup on the $6.5B market cap.
  • The 4-quarter earnings-surprise cadence is uniformly constructive: EPS $0.83 vs $0.58 (+43%), $1.67 vs $1.16 (+44%), $0.84 vs $0.64 (+31%), $1.23 vs $1.29 (-5%) — Q4 2024 miss was the exception.

Mar 4 2027 FY26 earnings needs continued peptide-plus-oligonucleotide-API revenue growth plus dated commentary on the GLP-1-plus-biotech customer trajectory and FY27 EPS scaling to extend the accelerating tape; a specific customer-plus-competitive walk-back or a manufacturing-plus-margin disclosure would take the stock back toward the 200-day base.

What to watch: Mar 4 2027 FY26 earnings — good = continued peptide-plus-oligonucleotide-API revenue growth with dated commentary on the GLP-1-plus-biotech customer trajectory and FY27 EPS scaling; bad = a specific customer-plus-competitive walk-back or a manufacturing-plus-margin disclosure, which takes the stock back toward the 200-day base.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
37.6How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
6.4%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
19.4%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
-0.8%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
7.9Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
10.3%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
27.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.1Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
