In 2025, the Tecan share declined by 36.6%, closing the year at CHF 128.50. The year was challenging for the life sciences industry overall, which continued to face uncertainty on multiple fronts. Ongoing policy noise, including NIH funding uncertainties in the US and potential tariffs for pharmaceutical companies, contributed to more restrictive CAPEX investments in instruments. In addition, persistent market weakness in China weighed on sector performance. As a result, the life science tools sector underperformed the broader market for the fourth consecutive year.

In contrast to the negative sector trend globally, 2025 was a positive year for Swiss equities overall. Thanks to a year-end rally and strong performance from several index heavyweights, the SPI Extra gained 16.9%.
