Profit growth strengthens the outlook

Recurring EBIT rose 16.8 percent in Swiss francs to CHF 976 million in the third quarter, while net sales increased 15.5 percent to CHF 4.662 billion. The recurring EBIT margin widened to 20.9 percent from 20.7 percent a year earlier.

For the first nine months, organic net sales growth reached 5.2 percent and organic recurring EBIT growth reached 11.8 percent. Recurring EBIT totaled CHF 2.414 billion, while the nine-month margin rose 10 basis points to 19.2 percent.

Fermacell adds a new growth leg

Holcim's binding agreement to acquire Fermacell broadens its European walling, flooring and fire-protection portfolio. The company said Fermacell has projected 2026 net sales of about EUR 430 million, with closing expected in the first half of 2027 subject to customary conditions and regulatory clearances.

Management expects organic net sales growth of about 5 percent in 2026, further recurring EBIT margin expansion and free cash flow of about CHF 2 billion. Holcim also targets growth of more than 20 percent in recycled construction and demolition materials.

Execution remains the investor focus

The results show operating leverage, with organic recurring EBIT growth outpacing organic sales growth during the first nine months. Investors will now focus on demand, cost discipline and the completion of the Fermacell transaction as Holcim works toward its upgraded full-year targets.
