EMS-Chemie stock (ISIN CH0016440353) traded at CHF 832.50 on SIX at 12:28 p.m. CEST on September 24, 2026. The price stood 0.83 percent below the 52-week high of CHF 839.50, giving the current quote a clear chart reference.

EBIT margin reaches 30.6 percent

The key operating figure comes from the first half of 2026. According to the EMS Group report dated August 28, 2026, EBIT rose 4.4 percent year over year to CHF 309 million.

That increase came while consolidated net sales declined to CHF 1,010 million from CHF 1,020 million in the first half of 2025. The contrast matters because profitability improved even as reported sales decreased by CHF 10 million.

The EBIT margin reached 30.6 percent, compared with 29.1 percent in the prior-year period. EBITDA rose 3.6 percent to CHF 335 million, while the EBITDA margin increased to 33.2 percent from 31.7 percent.

Net income rises 2.5 percent

EMS-Chemie also improved earnings below the operating line. Net income for the first half of 2026 reached CHF 259 million, up 2.5 percent from CHF 253 million a year earlier, according to the company report.

The balance sheet remained equity-heavy at the end of the reporting period. Equity attributable to shareholders stood at CHF 2,098 million, compared with CHF 1,855 million at December 31, 2025, while the equity ratio was 81.1 percent.

The company linked the result to high-margin specialties, innovation, cost discipline and supply-chain planning. For investors, the combination of lower sales and higher EBIT shifts attention toward product mix and margin quality rather than volume alone.

Stock stays below yearly high

EMS-Chemie stock reached an intraday high of CHF 835.00 on September 24, 2026, after opening at CHF 827.50. The distance to the 52-week high of CHF 839.50 was 0.83 percent at the quoted price.

The share therefore remained close to its yearly peak while the half-year figures showed a wider earnings trend: EBIT advanced 4.4 percent, net income increased 2.5 percent and the EBIT margin expanded by 1.5 percentage points.
