Lindt lowers 2026 organic sales forecast to 4%-6% due to weak demand and tourism, despite strong 2025 results and a 1 billion franc buyback.
Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli lowered its 2026 organic sales growth forecast to 4%-6% from 6%-8%, citing weakened consumer confidence and reduced tourism due to Middle East tensions, though it maintained its operating profit margin target.
The company reported strong 2025 results, with 12.4% organic sales growth, a 10% rise in operating profit to 971 million Swiss francs, and a 20-basis point EBIT margin increase to 16.4%, driven by price hikes and global demand for premium products.
Despite a recent 6.9% share drop, Lindt announced a 1 billion franc share buyback and a dividend proposal, while noting surprising 17% sales growth among U.S. users of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, likely due to emotional indulgence.
Lindt reduce el pronóstico de ventas orgánicas para 2026 al 4%-6% debido a la débil demanda y el turismo, a pesar de los sólidos resultados de 2025 y una recompra de 1.000 millones de francos.
