The company raised its full-year 2026 organic recurring EBIT guidance to 10%-12% on October 23, 2026, after third-quarter growth exceeded expectations, according to Reuters.

Quarterly growth supports guidance

Holcim's recurring EBIT margin reached 20.9 percent in the third quarter of 2026, up from 20.7 percent in the third quarter of 2025. Across the first nine months of 2026, recurring EBIT grew 11.8 percent organically to CHF 2.414 billion, while net sales rose 5.2 percent organically to CHF 12.586 billion, according to the company release.

Three events shape the picture

On June 19, 2026, Holcim completed the acquisition of Xella, with EUR 60 million of year-three synergies confirmed in the later company update. On August 20, 2026, Holcim announced the Fermacell transaction, whose projected 2026 net sales were EUR 430 million. On October 23, 2026, the group reported CHF 976 million in third-quarter recurring EBIT and raised its full-year guidance to 10%-12%, according to Holcim.
