Givaudan (ISIN CH0010645932) was trading at EUR 4,248.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 10:46 a.m. CEST as Yahoo Finance reported the company's 8.60 percent like-for-like sales growth in the third quarter. The result keeps the fragrance business at the center of the investment case.
Three dated signals for Givaudan
On October 9, 2026, The Globe and Mail reported that Bernstein maintained a Sell rating and a CHF 2,886.00 price target. On October 13, 2026, Givaudan reported nine-month sales of CHF 5.89 billion, up 5.20 percent like for like, through a report carried by FashionNetwork. On October 27, 2026, the Lang & Schwarz quote stood at EUR 4,248.00 during trading.
What drives the sales split?
Fragrance and Beauty supplied the strongest operating signal: third-quarter sales increased 13.50 percent, compared with 3.50 percent for Taste & Wellbeing, according to Yahoo Finance. Fine Fragrance sales rose 15.30 percent in the first nine months, while Taste & Wellbeing delivered 1.50 percent like-for-like growth. The contrast makes fragrance demand the clearest near-term earnings driver, while food ingredients remain the weaker side of the portfolio.
Dates that shape the next view
Givaudan's next scheduled investor presentation is October 29, 2026, according to the company's investor page. Full-year results are scheduled for January 27, 2027, as reported by Yahoo Finance. The dates give investors a defined timetable for testing whether the third-quarter acceleration can continue.
Price and analyst caution
Givaudan's nine-month sales growth exceeded the 3.90 percent consensus cited by MarketScreener. The same report said Jefferies retained a Hold rating with a CHF 3,030.00 target, while Bernstein kept its CHF 2,886.00 target. The split between stronger operating growth and cautious valuation views remains the key tension around the stock.
