Adecco Group stock (ISIN CH0012138530) traded around CHF 24.60 on SIX Swiss Exchange as of September 11, 2026, keeping the staffing specialist well below its historical highs while investors continue to digest recent earnings and a weak longer term performance.

Adecco stock underperforms over five years

According to finanzen.ch on September 14, 2026, Adecco SA shares closed at CHF 24.14 on September 11, 2026, giving the company a market capitalization of about CHF 4.16 billion.

In a five-year comparison, the portal calculates that Adecco SA stock stood at CHF 47.47 at the end of the trading day five years earlier, while the same position would be worth CHF 5,085.32 at the close on September 11, 2026, corresponding to a decline of about 49.15 percent in value over that period per finanzen.ch.

Recent earnings context and valuation levels

While the latest detailed quarterly or half-year figures are not highlighted in the very recent coverage, Adecco regularly reports revenue, operating profit and net income trends on its investor relations site and in results releases that frame the current share price around CHF 24 as reflecting relatively subdued expectations for growth in the global staffing and workforce solutions market.

Historically, Adecco has generated multi-billion revenue levels with margins that are sensitive to labor market cycles, client demand and pricing pressure; against that backdrop, a market capitalization of CHF 4.16 billion as of September 11, 2026 per finanzen.ch suggests that the market discounts cyclical risks more heavily than in the past when the shares traded near CHF 47.

Stock price level and investor perspective

Per data summarized by finanzen.ch, Adecco SA shares recently traded at around CHF 24.62 during the session on September 14, 2026, up roughly 1.99 percent intraday, while the prior close of CHF 24.14 on September 11, 2026 marked the lower reference point for the move.

For investors, the gap between the current price near CHF 24 and the historical level of CHF 47.47 five years ago indicates a significant long-term underperformance of almost half the original value, underlining how sensitive Adecco stock is to shifts in staffing volumes, pricing and broader economic conditions.
