Sales beat expectations

Givaudan generated third-quarter sales of CHF 2.092 billion, up 11.3 percent from CHF 1.879 billion a year earlier. Like-for-like growth accelerated from 3.6 percent in the first half of 2026 to 8.6 percent in the quarter, according to finanzen.at.

The split between divisions is the key investor signal. Fragrance and Beauty posted 13.5 percent like-for-like growth in the third quarter, while Taste and Wellbeing grew 3.5 percent.

What does the recovery mean?

The improving Taste and Wellbeing trend gives the report a second dimension. Its like-for-like growth rose from 0.5 percent in the first half to 3.5 percent in the third quarter, although North American flavors remained weaker during the nine-month period. Givaudan maintained its medium- to long-term target of 4 percent to 6 percent average annual like-for-like sales growth through 2030, alongside adjusted free cash flow above 12 percent of sales.
