Givaudan stock (ISIN CH0010645932) gained 1.24 percent in euros at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026, while Simply Wall St reported on October 6 that JPMorgan had placed Givaudan on Positive Catalyst Watch. The bank forecast 6.70 percent organic sales growth for the third quarter of 2026, giving the upcoming results a clear numerical test.

What does 6.70 percent growth mean

JPMorgan's forecast is above the 4.30 percent organic growth reported for the second quarter of 2026, according to Simply Wall St. The forecast also sits against Givaudan's first-half 2026 sales of CHF 3.8 billion, which rose 3.60 percent on a like-for-like basis, as the company said on its strategy page.

Givaudan reported that Fragrance and Beauty grew 6.50 percent in the first half of 2026, while Taste and Wellbeing returned to sequential growth in the second quarter. Management reaffirmed its 2030 ambition of average like-for-like sales growth of 4.00 to 6.00 percent and adjusted free cash flow above 12.00 percent of sales over the five-year cycle.

Three dated company developments

On September 16, 2026, the Givaudan Perfumery School marked its 80th anniversary. On September 18, 2026, Givaudan donated CHF 100,000 to support earthquake-affected communities in Colombia. On September 21, 2026, the company announced two certifications for its Product Carbon Footprint program.

Dates set against the forecast

Investing.com reported on October 5, 2026 that Givaudan's third-quarter results were scheduled for October 13, 2026. StockAnalysis lists January 27, 2027 as the earnings date for the fiscal-year report.

For investors, the key comparison is whether third-quarter organic growth reaches 6.70 percent while the Taste and Wellbeing recovery continues. That result would sit above the second-quarter 4.30 percent rate and within the company's 4.00 to 6.00 percent long-term sales ambition.
