Alcon stock (ISIN CH0432492467) was trading at CHF 52.90 on SIX at 9:28 a.m. CEST on October 7, 2026, up 0.4 percent during the session. The next earnings release is scheduled for November 10, 2026, according to Zacks.
Q2 beat sets the earnings baseline
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Alcon reported revenue of USD 2.82 billion against a USD 2.77 billion consensus estimate, a 1.8 percent beat, according to Earnings Today in its August 10 results summary. Adjusted EPS was USD 0.84 versus USD 0.77 expected, a 9.1 percent surprise, while gross margin reached 59.3 percent, up 3.0 percentage points from the prior quarter.
The comparison matters because the quarter combined sales growth with an earnings beat. Operating execution therefore remains the key test for the November report, especially after the stock moved lower from its yearly peak.
The stock sits inside a wide range
At CHF 52.90, the October 7 SIX price was CHF 5.10 above the 52-week low of CHF 47.80 and CHF 15.44 below the 52-week high of CHF 68.34. SIX trading volume stood at 21,549 shares by 9:28 a.m. CEST, giving the early move a clearly dated market context.
The listing data identify Alcon as ALC.SW on SIX under ISIN CH0432492467, according to Global Banking and Finance. The company operates in healthcare, with Surgical and Vision Care as its two principal business areas.
Analysts keep a broad target spread
A consensus overview dated September 24, 2026, showed a Buy recommendation from 26 analysts, an average target of USD 91.32, a high target of USD 105.27 and a low target of USD 59.24, according to Zonebourse. Those targets are quoted in USD, while the primary SIX share price is quoted in CHF, so the figures are not combined into a direct premium calculation.
November 10 is the next checkpoint
The Q3 2026 release date of November 10, 2026, gives investors the next scheduled test of revenue growth and profitability. Zacks lists a consensus estimate of USD 0.89 for the quarter, compared with USD 0.84 adjusted EPS in Q2.
