Givaudan (ISIN CH0010645932) was last at CHF 3,381 on SIX on October 5, 2026, with the session change at 0.62 percent. J.P. Morgan placed the fragrance and flavor maker on Positive Catalyst Watch ahead of its October 13, 2026, third-quarter results, according to Yahoo Finance.

J.P. Morgan sees faster growth

J.P. Morgan forecasts 6.7 percent organic sales growth for the third quarter, compared with 4.3 percent in the second quarter. The bank also expects 6.2 percent volume growth and 0.5 percent pricing growth, with a 2026 EBIT margin forecast of 24.1 percent versus consensus at 23.8 percent.

The forecast puts Givaudan ahead of the bank's ingredients comparison for the period. J.P. Morgan expects 2026 earnings per share of CHF 135.1 and 2027 earnings per share of CHF 141.8, up from CHF 133 and CHF 139 in its forecasts from one month earlier, according to Investing.com.

Barclays raises its target

Barclays upgraded Givaudan from Equal Weight to Overweight and lifted its price target from CHF 3,450 to CHF 3,850 on October 5, 2026. The bank cited stronger prospects for Taste & Wellbeing and greater operational resilience, as reported by Investing.com.

Barclays forecasts group organic sales growth of 5.8 percent for 2027, up from 5.0 percent, and adjusted EBITDA of CHF 2.02 billion. Its main counter-factors are higher raw-material costs, a slower recovery in Taste & Wellbeing and weaker luxury beauty demand.

Second-quarter figures set the base

Givaudan reported CHF 3.8 billion in quarterly revenue and CHF 475 million in net profit for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The fresh analyst debate therefore centers on whether volume growth can offset raw-material pressure in the second half.
