The latest purchase tranche represented 0.10 percent of share capital and had a weighted average price of EUR 89.6707, according to the September 21, 2026 release. The program gives Symrise a visible capital-allocation angle while the stock remains 1.71 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 95.00.

H1 sales reach EUR 2.539 billion

Symrise reported H1 2026 sales of EUR 2.539 billion and organic growth of 2.0 percent. The most important quarterly comparison was Q2 organic growth of 4.5 percent, up from a slight decline in Q1, while adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 553 million at a 21.8 percent margin, according to the Yahoo Finance transcript dated July 30, 2026.

Cash generation was another differentiator: adjusted business free cash flow rose 47.0 percent year over year to EUR 347 million, equal to a 13.7 percent margin. The counterweight is segment execution, with Scent and Care adjusted EBITDA down 6.7 percent to EUR 178 million and its margin at 17.7 percent in H1 2026.

Guidance stays at 2%-4%

Management reaffirmed 2026 organic sales growth of 2%-4%, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.5%-22.5% and an adjusted business free cash flow margin above 14.0%. That guidance places the 4.5 percent Q2 organic growth rate at the level needed to support the full-year range, while higher logistics and raw-material costs remain a margin consideration.

Analyst expectations add a second reference point. On September 1, 2026, MarketScreener reported that Jefferies raised its Symrise rating to Buy from Hold and lifted its price target to EUR 110 from EUR 80. The new target lies 17.81 percent above the EUR 93.38 Xetra price dated September 29, 2026.
