Holcim entered the new month with two developments shaping investor attention: stronger third-quarter operating momentum and the completed acquisition of Burdett Group in Australia. The building-materials group said the Burdett transaction closed on November 5 and expands its aggregates, sand and recycled construction-materials business in southeast Melbourne.

Holcim stock traded at 79.84 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:47 CET on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Investors can follow the real-time quote of Holcim stock for the latest trading indication.

Operating momentum supports the outlook

In its third-quarter release, Holcim reported nine-month net sales growth of 5.2% organically. Recurring EBIT rose 11.8% organically to CHF 2.414 billion, and the nine-month recurring EBIT margin increased to 19.2%.

For the full year, management raised its target for organic recurring EBIT growth to 10%-12%. The company also expects around 5% organic net-sales growth, a further increase in the recurring EBIT margin and free cash flow of around CHF 2 billion. The outlook points to continued operating leverage if pricing, demand and cost discipline remain supportive.

Burdett broadens circular construction

The Burdett acquisition gives Holcim a larger position in aggregates and recycled construction-demolition materials in Australia. The business will continue operating under the Burdett name, while Holcim brings additional national scale and investment capacity.

The deal also supports Holcim's NextGen Growth 2030 ambition to recycle more than 20 million tons of construction-demolition materials globally each year. For investors, the transaction adds a small but tangible example of how the group is linking portfolio expansion with its circular-construction strategy.
