Read the latest Asetek One-Pager following the upgraded mid-term guidance for the Liquid Cooling segments, and suggested return to growth in 2026.

Following a new long-term agreement with a returning top-three OEM customer, Asetek has raised its mid-term Liquid Cooling revenue target to above USD 65m (from >USD 50m) while maintaining an adjusted EBITDA margin above 25%. Shipments under the agreement, with a minimum commitment of USD 35m, are set to begin in 2026, supporting a return to growth from that year onward.

Asetek’s SimSports segment continues to scale, targeting revenues above USD 50m (vs. USD 9.6m in 2024) and single-digit EBITDA margins. While tariff headwinds have weighed on near-term results, production expansion in Malaysia and the H2 2025 mass-market product may position the segment for renewed growth.

Asetek is a global leader within liquid cooling solutions for high-end PC’s and also produces high-end equipment for SimSports. Asetek was listed on the OBX Oslo Stock Exchange in 2013. Asetek’s liquid cooling of high-end PC’s and eSports enthusiasts is its largest segment. Its sealed loop liquid cooler supports the thermal challenges of the computers and can also be implemented at data centers to provide significant energy savings and recapturing of heat against the air cooling industry norm; however, this segment remains relatively smaller. In 2021 Asetek made its first expansion into the SimSports Gaming market with its high-end SimRacing pedals, designed to create an immersive experience for sim racers. Asetek plans to expand further into the SimRacing value chain with ambitions to release wheelbases, steering wheels, shifters, and other end-user customization options.
