Lonza Group stock heads into ZKB conference with growth targets

Lonza Group is heading into the next week with a scheduled investor appearance and a reaffirmed operating outlook. The company's investor agenda lists the ZKB Swiss Equity Conference in Zurich for Thursday, November 5, 2026, according to Lonza's investor agenda.

Investor conference sets next checkpoint

The event follows Lonza's October 14 Capital Markets Day and third-quarter update. In its October 14 release, the company said third-quarter performance was in line with expectations across all business platforms and reiterated its full-year 2026 outlook.

Lonza expects constant-currency sales growth of 11% to 12% in 2026 and a CORE EBITDA margin of 33% to 34%. It also expects foreign-exchange effects to reduce 2026 sales growth by approximately 2% to 3%, a factor investors may track when comparing reported performance with the constant-currency targets.

Growth model remains central

Beyond the current year, Lonza raised its medium-term organic constant-currency sales-growth model to 10% to 13% on average. The company also targets a CORE EBITDA margin in the high thirties over the medium term, with return on invested capital intended to reach two to three times weighted average cost of capital.

The real-time quote of Lonza Group stock was 700.80 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 5:24 p.m. CET on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

For the broader Swiss market, investors can follow current SMI market developments as the conference approaches.
