Alcon stock (ISIN CH0432492467) closed at USD 67.37 on September 15, 2026, after a 0.33 percent gain. The latest update also points to November 10, 2026, for the next earnings report, while the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, delivered revenue of CHF 2.23 billion and earnings per share of CHF 0.84.

Revenue still sets the pace

According to Ad-hoc-news on September 15, 2026, Alcon's next earnings report is scheduled for November 10, 2026, and the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, delivered revenue of CHF 2.23 billion and EPS of CHF 0.84. That revenue figure follows CHF 2.15 billion in the prior-year quarter, a rise of 3.95 percent.

The market is also watching whether management can keep that pace into the second half. For investors, the next date matters because the company has already put hard numbers on both top line and per-share earnings for the quarter.

Analysts stay constructive

According to MarketScreener on September 16, 2026, 26 analysts cover Alcon, with an average recommendation of Buy, a median target of USD 91.38 and an implied upside of 35.64 percent from the last close of USD 67.37. The same page shows Berenberg calling Alcon the 'best opportunity' for exposure to the ophthalmology market and reaffirming a Buy rating on September 11, 2026.

That gap between the last close and the median target is the clearest valuation marker in the current setup. The stock is still trading well below the consensus view even after the recent gain.

USD 67.37 stays central

Alcon stock closed at USD 67.37 on September 15, 2026, with the same MarketScreener snapshot showing a 52-week range from USD 59.24 to USD 105.27 and a market value implied by the listed consensus page. The next reporting date and the analyst target remain the two numbers likely to shape the next move.
