Tecan Annual Report

Tecan share in 2022

After an above-average year for the stock market in 2021, accelerating inflation and rising interest rates send stocks into a bear market in 2022. Especially technology stocks came under pressure, when rising fears over central banks reversing their stimulative policies triggered a broader sell-off across financial markets globally.

The SMI, which covers Swiss blue-chip stocks, was down by 16.7% for the year. The SPI Extra, which comprises the small and mid-cap companies listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, closed at -24.0%.

At CHF 412.40, shares of Tecan finished the year at -25.8% and a market capitalization of CHF 5.25 billion at the end of the year.
