Bulls say / Bears say

Bell delivered its strongest first half on record: organic revenue rose 1.9% to CHF 2.4 billion, EBITDA increased 8.4% to CHF 173 million, EBIT rose 15.4% to CHF 76 million and net income climbed 21.3% to CHF 55 million. (Reuters)
Operational momentum was broad-based: Bell Switzerland, Bell International, Hubers/Sütag and Hilcona all outperformed the prior year, while the integration of Hermann Wein supported Bell International’s performance. (Bell Food Group)
Hilcona is benefiting from attractive convenience and plant-based demand: first-half currency-adjusted revenue increased 4.1%, and a second tofu production line doubled capacity, strengthening Bell’s position in the Swiss tofu market. (MarketScreener)
Hügli remains a material drag: first-half 2026 revenue fell 8.1% and sales volume declined 4.8%, with management describing the business as being in a repositioning and transition year. (Bell Food Group)
The group still carries substantial leverage and capital requirements, with net financial liabilities of CHF 873 million at June 30, 2026 and first-half investments of CHF 121.8 million; planned full-year investment of about CHF 300 million could constrain free cash flow. (Bell Food Group)
Underlying growth remains relatively modest despite the record result: organic net-revenue growth was 1.9%, while management cited stringent conditions in international markets and German retail, leaving Bell exposed to price competition and margin pressure. (Bell Food Group)
