EMS-Chemie Holding AG (CH0016440353) reported CHF 1.07 billion in sales for the first half of 2026 and CHF 75.0 million in EBIT, while its stock was quoted at CHF 786.00 on August 18, 2026. The latest market snapshot also showed a CHF 5.00 move on that session, with the SIX Swiss Exchange line listing a high of CHF 786.00 and an open of CHF 782.00. EMS stock price and basic data
First-half figures
The half-year numbers give investors a clear reference point: CHF 1.07 billion in sales and CHF 75.0 million in EBIT in the first half of 2026. That makes the EBIT margin 7.0 percent, and it sits against a market value that one same-day finance portal put at CHF 2.05 billion on August 19, 2026.
Historical context matters here as well. In the same session, a market data page placed the share price at CHF 783.00, while another portal showed a pre-open quote of CHF 392.60 on a different venue snapshot, underscoring how differently the same security can screen across data feeds on August 19, 2026.
Trading context
The 52-week range from the same portal ran from CHF 256.05 to CHF 593.85, which puts the quoted CHF 786.00 level well above that band in the visible data set. On a chart basis, that is the kind of gap that keeps valuation and earnings delivery in the same conversation for Swiss industrial names.
Market observers can also compare the stock's market cap of CHF 2.05 billion with the first-half sales base of CHF 1.07 billion. A first-half revenue scale that large against a mid-single-digit EBIT margin leaves little room for operational slippage.
Product base
EMS-Chemie makes polymers and specialty chemicals for applications that include automotive, industrial and consumer uses. That product mix is the backdrop for the half-year numbers and for the share's sensitivity to margins, volumes and the wider industrial cycle.
Share level
As of August 18, 2026, the visible SIX snapshot showed CHF 786.00 for EMS-Chemie stock. The same page listed a low of CHF 781.00 and an open of CHF 782.00, framing the session with a tight trading band.
