Lonza Group (ISIN CH0013841017) was trading at EUR 684.60 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 10:06 a.m. CET. The latest analyst action came from CLSA, which raised its target from CHF 759 to CHF 778 on October 16, 2026, according to Boerse Express.

Three milestones reshape the outlook

Lonza reported sales of CHF 3.4 billion and constant-exchange-rate sales growth of 16.00 percent for the first half of 2026, as described in the Yahoo Finance transcript dated July 22, 2026. On October 14, 2026, the company set a medium-term organic growth model of 10.00-13.00 percent and a high-thirties CORE EBITDA margin through its official update.

What do the targets mean?

The near-term framework remains narrower: Lonza reaffirmed 2026 constant-exchange-rate sales growth of 11.00-12.00 percent and a CORE EBITDA margin of 33.00-34.00 percent in its Lonza release. That separates the current-year forecast from the longer-term ambition. The company also expects the planned sale of Capsules and Health Ingredients to close before the end of 2026, leaving execution and capital allocation as important markers.
