Sulzer stock (ISIN CH0038388911) traded at CHF 152.90 on SIX during September 25, 2026, up 1.60 percent during the session. The move came as investors weighed a weaker order intake against a higher first-half EBITDA margin.

Margin improves despite weaker orders

In the first half of 2026, Sulzer generated sales of CHF 1.67 billion, while order intake fell 8.90 percent from the prior-year period. Finanz Echo reported these figures on September 9, 2026, including an EBITDA margin of 15.50 percent.

The combination points to a clear operating split. Demand measured by new orders weakened, but profitability improved, giving the margin greater importance for the second half of the year.

Analysts see value above the market

MarketScreener listed a mean consensus of Buy from six analysts, with an average target price of CHF 187.20 and a high target of CHF 210.00. The average target stands CHF 34.30 above the September 25 trading price, equal to 22.43 percent above it.

The same consensus page listed a low target of CHF 130.00, showing a CHF 80.00 spread between the highest and lowest published targets. That range makes valuation and execution central to the stock story, particularly after the first-half order decline.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Sulzer reached a 52-week high of CHF 180.60 on February 20, 2026, and a 52-week low of CHF 121.60 on October 16, 2025. The September 25 price was CHF 27.70 below the high, or 15.34 percent lower, while the SIX session volume reached 2,720 shares.

Sulzer supplies fluid-engineering equipment and services for sectors including energy, chemicals, water and general industry. Its business mix leaves the company exposed to project timing, but the 15.50 percent first-half EBITDA margin gives investors a concrete measure of operating efficiency as the group works through weaker order intake.

CHF 152.90 remains the reference price

Sulzer stock was trading at CHF 152.90 on SIX on September 25, 2026. The next market checkpoint is whether improved profitability can offset the 8.90 percent first-half decline in order intake.
