North America and the Rest of the World grew organically by 12.7% and 10.2% respectively in the first half, providing growth engines beyond a weak European market. (Lindt & Sprüngli)
Profitability held up despite costly inputs: first-half EBIT rose to CHF 260.2 million and the margin improved to 11.2% from 11.0% a year earlier. This suggests cost savings and pricing have so far protected returns. (Lindt & Sprüngli)
Lindt expects easing cocoa costs, targeted pricing and brand investment to support a return to positive volume growth in 2027, while it maintains its longer-term growth ambitions. (Deutsche Börse)
Lindt cut its 2026 organic sales growth forecast to 0–2% from 4–6%, after price sensitivity, subdued consumer sentiment and hot weather weakened European demand. (Reuters)
The 11.8% first-half price rise coincided with a 7.5% fall in volume and mix, while Europe—almost half of group sales—declined 2.1% organically. This shows that higher prices are not yet translating into healthy underlying demand. (Lindt & Sprüngli)
