Komax Holding shares closed at CHF78.70 on Friday, only modestly higher over the past week and month, which suggests investors came into these results cautiously optimistic but not euphoric. The earnings headline is simple and uncomfortable. The wiring automation specialist is still loss making, with a basic earnings per share loss of CHF0.96 in the first half and trailing twelve month losses that remain in the mid single digit millions of francs.
The key issue now is valuation. The stock trades at barely a quarter of one discounted cash flow estimate of intrinsic value, while revenue still sits in the mid hundreds of millions. That gap is what the market is trying to price today.

For investors leaning toward a long term electrification and automation story, Komax Holding still offers some support. Revenue in H1 2026 is broadly stable compared with H1 2025 and the trailing 12 month loss has narrowed to CHF9.374m. That points to some operational progress even while the company remains loss making. The share price has been broadly flat over 7, 30 and 90 days, which suggests the market is willing to wait for clearer earnings traction rather than marking the stock sharply lower on these numbers.
The bearish view on Komax Holding is also well served by these results. The company is still loss making and the H1 2026 net loss of CHF4.9m is higher than the prior period, with basic EPS losses also wider. That jars with any clean profitability narrative for an automation supplier. Revenue is not collapsing, but the lack of clear earnings improvement gives critics room to argue that structural end market demand has not yet translated into a sustainably profitable business model.
