Givaudan SA (CH0010645932) traded at CHF 3,415.40 on the SIX Swiss Exchange on September 22, 2026, up 1.74 percent, as analyst revisions lifted the near-term debate around the fragrance and flavor maker.

JPMorgan raises its target

JPMorgan lifted its price target from CHF 3,600 to CHF 3,700 and maintained an Overweight rating on September 22, 2026, according to Boersen-Zeitung. Analyst Celine Pannuti raised her expectation for Givaudan's third-quarter operational growth to 6.7 percent from 4.7 percent, giving the target revision a quantified earnings backdrop.

The same September 22, 2026 update linked the estimate change to recent industry data and company discussions. That comparison matters because the expected growth rate increased by 2.0 percentage points, while the target rose by CHF 100.

Analyst views remain divided

Deutsche Bank reiterated a Buy rating and a CHF 3,700 price target on September 22, 2026, as reported by finanzen.ch. Barclays took a more cautious position, retaining Neutral while raising its target from CHF 3,300 to CHF 3,450, according to MarketScreener on September 22, 2026.

The target range therefore runs from CHF 3,450 to CHF 3,700 among the cited updates. Market data showed a closing price of CHF 3,370.00, with the average analyst target at CHF 3,447.72 across 19 analysts on September 22, 2026.

Third-quarter date approaches

Givaudan's next scheduled activity update is listed for October 13, 2026, covering the third quarter of 2026, according to MarketScreener. The date gives the 6.7 percent operational-growth estimate a defined checkpoint, while the spread between the Neutral and Buy targets highlights differing views on how much of the expected improvement is already reflected in the share price.
