The MDAX closed at 30,495 points on October 27, 2026, up 207 points or 0.7 percent. The advance followed renewed demand for artificial-intelligence-linked shares, while SUSS MicroTec cut its 2026 revenue outlook to EUR 405 million to EUR 425 million, Finanzen.ch reports.
Porsche rose 3.8 percent after stronger free cash flow helped offset weaker deliveries and revenue, according to t-online. The stock was among the strongest MDAX constituents at the close.
Why did the MDAX rise despite SUSS MicroTec's warning?
SUSS MicroTec fell 4.0 percent after the semiconductor equipment maker lowered its 2026 revenue range and forecast an EBIT margin of 5 to 7 percent. The company also announced production changes involving its Garching site and one-off costs of EUR 6.2 million, EQS via Finanzen.ch says.
The broader advance reflected renewed interest in technology-related shares. Porsche's quarterly figures added support, while investors looked ahead to major technology earnings and central-bank decisions.
