Givaudan stock (ISIN CH0010645932) traded at CHF 3,252.00 on September 8, 2026, after a 0.6 percent rise in SIX trading, with 639 shares changing hands and an intraday high at CHF 3,257.00. finanzen.ch also shows the stock within its 52-week band of CHF 2,566.00 to CHF 3,592.00.

Sales and margins stay central

The latest investor figures on Givaudan show full-year 2025 group sales of CHF 7,472 million, up 5.1 percent like-for-like and up 0.8 percent in Swiss francs versus 2024. EBITDA reached CHF 1.751 billion, the EBITDA margin was 23.4 percent, and net income came to CHF 1.071 billion.

That mix matters because the 5.1 percent sales growth is modest next to the 23.4 percent EBITDA margin, which points to a business that is still generating strong operating profitability. The 72.00 CHF dividend per share for 2025 adds a second historical reference point for the stock.

Analysts remain active

finanzen.ch lists several fresh analyst calls for Givaudan, including Deutsche Bank on September 3, 2026, JPMorgan on September 1, 2026, Jefferies on September 1, 2026 and Bernstein Research on August 28, 2026. The consensus signal in that list is mixed rather than one-way, which keeps valuation and margin execution at the center of the debate.

The investor page also shows CHF 300 million in Swiss Franc bond placement announced on August 31, 2026 and an Investor Field Trip scheduled for September 29, 2026 to September 30, 2026. That gives the market a near-term calendar anchor beyond the trading tape.

Flavor is the core

The business is still built on flavors, fragrances and taste solutions, with Taste & Wellbeing and Fragrance & Beauty as the main operating areas. In 2025, Taste & Wellbeing sales grew 2.4 percent like-for-like, while Fragrance & Beauty grew 7.9 percent like-for-like, showing where the faster growth came from.

Stock level to watch

At CHF 3,252.00 on September 8, 2026, Givaudan stock sits below its CHF 3,592.00 52-week high and above its CHF 2,566.00 low. For investors, the next question is whether sales growth can keep supporting a premium valuation near this price band.
