Julius Baer stock (ISIN CH0102484968) last traded at CHF 71.24 on SIX at 5:30 p.m. CEST on September 25, 2026, up 1.66 percent. First-half earnings provide the fundamental backdrop.

Profit sets a record

According to Funds Society, IFRS net profit reached CHF 673 million in the first half of 2026, up 128 percent from CHF 295 million a year earlier. Earnings per share increased from CHF 1.44 to CHF 3.27.

Assets under management climbed 5 percent year to date to CHF 547 billion, according to Funds Society. Net new money totaled CHF 5.7 billion in the first half, adding an operating growth component to favorable market and currency effects.

Efficiency supports earnings

The adjusted cost-income ratio declined to 62.6 percent from 68.2 percent in the first half of 2025, as Funds Society reported. The four-percentage-point expansion in gross margin to 87 basis points also indicates that higher client activity supported income generation.

Growth in new money remains the key counterweight. CEO Stefan Bollinger told Finanz und Wirtschaft that annualized net new money growth was 2.2 percent in the first half, compared with Julius Baer's 4-5 percent target through 2028. That gap makes organic inflows a central measure of whether record assets translate into durable growth.

Yearly high remains ahead

The September 25 price of CHF 71.24 stood between the 52-week low of CHF 51.76 and high of CHF 76.86. Market capitalization was CHF 14.7 billion, while session volume reached 371,608 shares and the daily range ran from CHF 70.12 to CHF 71.54.

The CHF 1.16 daily increase from the previous level of CHF 70.08 confirms a positive session, while the gap to the yearly high leaves room for the operating figures to remain decisive. For investors, net new money growth and the 62.6 percent cost-income ratio are the clearest checkpoints.
