Givaudan stock reports 4.57 percent below its yearly high

Givaudan stock was trading at CHF 3,428 on SIX on September 24, 2026, leaving the price 4.57 percent below its 52-week high of CHF 3,592. The Swiss fragrance and flavor specialist carried a market capitalization of CHF 31,644,954,676 at the same date.

Revenue reached CHF 3.799 billion

Givaudan reported revenue of CHF 3,799,000,000 for Q2 2026. That was up 96.64 percent from CHF 1,932,000,000 in Q2 2025, giving the current quarter a clear numerical edge over the comparable period.

The earnings comparison was also positive. Net income reached CHF 475,000,000 in Q2 2026, compared with CHF 296,000,000 in Q2 2025, an increase of 60.47 percent.

Operating profit gained ground

Operating profit totaled CHF 720,000,000 in Q2 2026, versus CHF 378,000,000 one year earlier. The resulting operating margin was 18.95 percent, compared with 19.57 percent in Q2 2025, so the higher profit came alongside a modest margin contraction.

That combination matters for the stock. Revenue and operating profit both expanded sharply year over year, while the margin comparison shows that scale alone does not fully describe the quarter. For investors, the relationship between further sales growth and operating profitability is the more important measure.

Stock remains below yearly high

Givaudan's CHF 3,428 share price on September 24, 2026, stood above the 52-week low of CHF 2,566 and below the 52-week high of CHF 3,592. The 52-week spread of CHF 1,026 highlights the distance between the current quote and the year's upper price level.

The company's two operating divisions, Fragrance and Beauty and Taste and Wellbeing, support products used in consumer goods worldwide. The Q2 2026 figures place the stock in a market context where revenue growth, profit conversion and the 4.57 percent gap to the yearly high can be assessed together.
