Geberit stock (ISIN CH0030170408) is trading near CHF 579.80, with a market cap of CHF 18.72 billion, a day range of CHF 576.60 to CHF 583.60, and a 52-week band of CHF 490.40 to CHF 659.80 as of August 30, 2026. The current setup is being shaped by the company's very strong second quarter of 2026, which Geberit highlighted on August 19, 2026.
Second-quarter momentum
Geberit said its first-half 2026 report was marked by significant volume growth, sharp increases in direct material prices, sales price increases and substantial currency losses, while operating margins stayed at the previous year's level. The same investor update also said earnings per share increased significantly and free cash flow declined, giving investors a clearer split between operational strength and cash conversion pressure.
On the market side, the shares are sitting just below the 12-month consensus target of CHF 579.00, and the quoted year move is -4.4496%. Volume was 20.1K shares, versus a 3-month average of 82.27K, which shows the latest session is moving on lighter turnover than normal.
What the valuation says
The latest portal data puts Geberit's price-to-earnings ratio at 30.70, price-to-book at 16.92 and EV/EBITDA at 21.73. That combination leaves the stock priced for durable margins, even though the half-year update already showed pressure from currency losses and higher material costs.
The analyst split is also mixed, with 4 buy calls, 8 holds and 5 sells across 17 analysts. The next earnings date is listed for November 2, 2026, which gives the market a fixed checkpoint for the next update on pricing, volume and cash generation.
Systems and ceramic demand
Geberit sells sanitary systems, piping systems and ceramics for residential, commercial, new-build and renovation markets. That product mix matters because the half-year comments pointed to volume growth and price increases at the same time, which suggests the company is still defending its positioning even in a tougher cost backdrop.
Share level to watch
Geberit shares are trading in a narrow band around CHF 579.80, close to the consensus target of CHF 579.00 and well below the 52-week high of CHF 659.80. For now, the market is treating August 19, 2026, results as the main anchor for valuation and the next earnings date in November as the next test.
