    • In early September 2026, Rigaku Corporation launched the CT Lab HR160, a high-resolution X-ray CT system developed with Excillum AB for non-destructive 3D imaging of batteries, semiconductor devices, electronic components, and advanced materials.
    • An interesting aspect is the CT Lab HR160’s true 250 nm spatial resolution and flexible cone-beam geometry, which together target increasingly demanding inspection needs in solid-state batteries and advanced electronics.
    • With this new high-resolution CT platform aimed at critical battery and semiconductor applications, we will examine how it shapes Rigaku’s investment narrative.

    What Is Rigaku Holdings' Investment Narrative?

    To own Rigaku today, you have to believe in its role as an enabling tools supplier to structurally important areas like semiconductors, batteries, and advanced materials, while accepting that the stock already trades on a rich multiple after a very large 1‑year total return. The CT Lab HR160 launch fits cleanly into that story, reinforcing Rigaku’s positioning in high‑end inspection for solid‑state batteries and chip packaging, but it is unlikely to move the needle on near‑term earnings by itself. The more immediate catalysts still look to be execution against 2026 guidance, integration and collaboration with Onto Innovation, and how management uses recent equity issuance and higher dividends. On the risk side, softer first‑half profits, share price volatility, and premium valuation all raise the bar for future delivery.

    However, one key risk is how that premium valuation interacts with recent earnings softness and volatility. Rigaku Holdings' share price has been on the slide but might be up to 21% below fair value. Find out if it's a bargain.
