Flughafen Zürich stock (ISIN CH0019318550) was last quoted at CHF 201.80 on SIX on September 25, 2026, up 1.10 percent from CHF 199.60. The move followed a record first half, while management's lower 2026 profit outlook keeps the earnings story balanced.

Half-year revenue reaches CHF 673.6 million

According to Yahoo Finance on August 28, 2026, Flughafen Zürich generated CHF 673.6 million of revenue in the first half of 2026, a 5.00 percent increase from the prior-year period. EBITDA rose 4.00 percent to CHF 374.2 million, while the EBITDA margin remained at 56.00 percent.

Net income increased 1.00 percent to CHF 163.7 million. Passenger traffic at Zurich Airport rose 6.00 percent to 15.8 million in H1 2026, giving the company its strongest first-half result while profit growth lagged revenue and EBITDA because of higher depreciation and financing costs linked to Noida International Airport.

Guidance points to slower growth

Management expects passenger growth at Zurich Airport of 3.00 percent for full-year 2026, compared with the 6.00 percent increase achieved in the first half. The company also expects full-year EBITDA to remain at a similar level to 2025, while consolidated profit is expected to decline.

The Noida ramp-up is the key counter-factor. The earnings call states that the Indian airport is expected to make a negative EBITDA contribution in 2026 and reach break-even in 2027. Airport charges at Zurich are also scheduled to fall by 10.00 percent from October 1, 2026, increasing the importance of passenger volume and international expansion.

Stock remains below yearly high

On September 25, 2026, the SIX quote showed a daily range of CHF 201.00 to CHF 204.00, volume of 41,980 shares and a market capitalization of CHF 6.2 billion. The 52-week range of CHF 198.20 to CHF 266.60 places the reference price 24.70 percent below the yearly high.

Investing.com lists an average 12-month analyst target of CHF 246.35, which is 22.08 percent above CHF 201.80. The company therefore combines a record operating result with a near-term profit warning from higher Noida-related costs and the coming reduction in airport charges.
