Givaudan stock gains as Deutsche Bank lifts target
Published on 09/04/2026 at 08:14 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Givaudan stock (CH0010645932) traded at CHF 3,255.00 on September 3, 2026, after Deutsche Bank Research raised its target to CHF 3,700 from CHF 3,650 and kept a Buy rating. The move left the share price 13.67 percent below the new target, according to a Deutsche Bank assessment reported by finanzen.ch.
Target lift after investor day
Deutsche Bank said the revision followed Givaudan's investor conference and pointed to continued strength in Fragrance & Beauty. The same analysis also showed 2,235 shares traded at the time of the note and a 2026 year-to-date gain of 6.3 percent.
The stock also reached CHF 3,286.00 intraday on September 3, 2026, before easing back to CHF 3,255.00 in the later snapshot. That left the share price 31.00 francs below the day's high and 1.6 percent above the level cited in the morning note.
2025 figures stay relevant
On its investor page, Givaudan reported full-year 2025 sales of CHF 7,472 million, up 5.1 percent on a like-for-like basis and 0.8 percent in Swiss francs versus 2024. The same page listed EBITDA of CHF 1,751 million, a margin of 23.4 percent, and net income of CHF 1,071 million.
For investors, the split between the valuation call and the latest annual figures matters more than the headline move. A 2025 dividend of CHF 72.00 per share also shows how much cash the group returned to shareholders last year.
Fragrance and flavors
Givaudan's Fragrance & Beauty division posted 7.9 percent like-for-like sales growth in 2025, while Taste & Wellbeing rose 2.4 percent. That gap helps explain why analysts continue to focus on mix, margins, and pricing power rather than only on group sales.
Stock level on September 3
Givaudan stock finished the latest snapshot at CHF 3,255.00 on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with the day marked by a rise to CHF 3,286.00 and a reported volume of 2,235 shares. The valuation debate now sits between that market level and Deutsche Bank's CHF 3,700 target.
