SGS stock reports a new EUDR verification partnership

SGS stock stood at CHF 94.46 on the SIX Swiss Exchange on September 24, 2026, valuing the testing and certification group at CHF 18.68 billion. The company also advanced its regulatory services business through a Meridia partnership announced on September 23, 2026.

Meridia expands EUDR services

According to SGS, Meridia will provide geospatial tools and first-mile data for verification under the European Union Deforestation Regulation. The joint offering combines plot-level information, supply-chain evidence and independent assessments across more than 50 origin countries.

The commercial relevance is visible in the scope of the solution. SGS says its EUDR Readiness Solution covers more than 220 control points, including geolocation, legality evidence, supply-chain controls and due-diligence decisions.

Revenue reaches CHF 3.683 billion

SGS reported first-half 2026 revenue of CHF 3.683 billion and diluted earnings per share of CHF 1.58 for the period ended June 30, 2026. Net income was CHF 309 million, compared with CHF 354 million in the prior reported period, a decline of CHF 45 million.

The earnings mix matters more than revenue alone. Operating income was CHF 514 million in the first half, while the operating margin was 13.96 percent, calculated from the reported operating income and revenue figures.

Stock remains below yearly high

At CHF 94.46, SGS stock was 4.35 percent below its 52-week high of CHF 98.76 and 17.68 percent above its 52-week low of CHF 80.28 on September 24, 2026. The comparison places the shares in the upper half of their annual trading range.

SGS also announced a EUR 650 million senior bond offering on September 22, 2026, with a 6-year maturity due in 2032 and a 4.125 percent coupon, according to SGS. The proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes, including debt refinancing.
