Analyst projections of the future price of Barry Callebaut AG stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Volumes grew 5.7% in both the third and fourth quarters, ending a two-year decline and suggesting the recovery is gaining traction. The company says its next-year volume outlook is 1% to 3% growth. (Reuters)
Strong cash generation helped cut net debt by 42.5% to CHF 2.47 billion and reduce leverage to 2.9 times EBITDA. That gives the business more room to manage cocoa-related working-capital swings and lower financing costs. (Investing.com)
Gourmet volumes rose 13.6% in the fourth quarter, supporting the shift towards higher-value products. Its Focus for Growth plan prioritises Gourmet and selected speciality products as routes to better growth and returns. (FoodNavigator, Barry Callebaut)
Recurring operating profit fell 14.1% in 2025/26, despite the return to volume growth. Its 3% to 5% EBIT growth forecast for 2026/27 is below the 5.5% analyst consensus, leaving execution on earnings recovery unproven. (Reuters)
The company raised its assumed cocoa bean price for next year from about £3,000 to £4,000 a tonne, as weather concerns keep the market volatile. Higher cocoa costs and price swings could continue to pressure earnings and cash needs. (Reuters)
Barry Callebaut says the Hershey partnership agreement ends in 2027, which is expected to reduce volumes by 1% in 2026/27. Losing this business would make the forecast volume recovery harder to deliver. (Reuters)
