Geberit stock (ISIN CH0030170408) was trading at EUR 577.30 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. CEST, down 0.31 percent versus the prior close of EUR 579.10. On September 8, 2026, Jefferies raised its price target from CHF 698.00 to CHF 712.00 and maintained a Buy rating, according to Cash.

Jefferies sees a CHF 712.00 target

The target increase followed Geberit's first-half performance, which Jefferies viewed as supportive for organic growth and margin expectations. The CHF 712.00 target is materially above the CHF 578.00 market consensus cited by Cash, while the same report listed five Buy ratings, ten Hold ratings and seven Sell ratings.

That dispersion matters because the valuation remains demanding. Cash reported a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 28.00 times, compared with a 20-year average of 23.20 times, and identified rising raw-material and energy costs as a counter-factor to a broad construction recovery.

First-half growth came with stable margins

Geberit's first-half 2026 net sales increased 3.00 percent in Swiss francs to CHF 1.71 billion, while local-currency sales grew 6.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. Earnings per share increased 8.00 percent in Swiss francs and 11.00 percent in local currencies to CHF 11.09.

The EBITDA margin reached 30.90 percent, unchanged from the prior year, while net income rose 7.00 percent in Swiss francs to CHF 363.60 million. Free cash flow declined 12.00 percent to CHF 217.00 million as capital expenditure increased 18.00 percent to CHF 64.00 million.

Q3 results are due November 3

Geberit's full-year 2026 outlook calls for local-currency net sales growth of 5.00 percent to 6.00 percent and an EBITDA margin at the prior-year level. The company also expects a 2.50 percent sales-price effect for the full year, according to its investor publications dated August 19, 2026.

The next conference call is scheduled for November 3, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. CET for the third-quarter 2026 results, as stated on Geberit. For investors, the key test is whether pricing can protect the 30.90 percent EBITDA margin as construction demand improves unevenly across Europe.
