Sika stock (ISIN CH0418792922) was trading at EUR 195.85 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, down 0.38% versus the prior close of EUR 196.60. The company raised its 2026 local currency growth guidance to 3.00%-6.00% from 1.00%-4.00%, according to Yahoo Finance on July 28, 2026.
Guidance rises to 3.00%-6.00%
The upgrade gives Sika a sharper growth range for fiscal year 2026 even though management described market conditions as muted. The same earnings call set the full-year EBITDA margin guidance at 19.00%-19.50%, making margin protection a central measure of execution.
First-half local currency growth reached 4.00%, compared with reported sales of CHF 5.59 billion. The result included a 5.50% negative foreign-exchange impact, while organic growth stood at 2.90% and acquisition contribution at 1.10%, according to Yahoo Finance on July 28, 2026.
Profitability offsets currency pressure
Sika reported a first-half material margin of 55.70%, up 0.60 percentage points from the prior-year period. EBITDA reached CHF 1.063 billion and net profit CHF 552 million, while diluted EPS was CHF 3.43 versus CHF 3.45 a year earlier.
The numbers show why the guidance increase is not based solely on market recovery. Pricing, operating efficiency and the Fast Forward program are carrying more of the improvement, while foreign exchange remains a measurable counter-factor. Sika also expects its Investor Day on October 1, 2026, with attention on adhesives and the Akkim acquisition, according to Yahoo Finance.
Analyst target reaches CHF 225
