Lindt & Sprüngli stock (ISIN CH0010570759) closed at CHF 91,200.00 on the SIX Swiss Exchange on September 21, 2026, up 1.4 percent from the session opening. The rebound followed attention around a new share buyback program, while the price remained only CHF 5,200 above the recent 52-week low of CHF 86,000.00.
Buyback supports the share price
According to Ad-hoc-news on September 21, 2026, the company had completed an earlier repurchase of its own shares and participation certificates ahead of schedule and was preparing a new program that started in May 2026. The capital-allocation measure offers a concrete explanation for the 1.4 percent session gain, but the stock's position near its low keeps the market reaction measured.
The same report said the September 21 session opened at CHF 89,000.00 and reached CHF 91,400.00 before the close. The closing price was therefore CHF 2,200 below the session high and CHF 5,200 above the 52-week low, a comparison that points to a recovery from depressed levels rather than a new high.
Half year sales edge lower
Lindt & Sprüngli reported sales of CHF 2.332 billion for the first half of 2026, compared with CHF 2.353 billion in the first half of 2025, according to Sina Finance on September 22, 2026. That represents a decline of CHF 21 million, or about 0.9 percent, while EBITDA increased from CHF 402 million to CHF 416 million and net profit rose from CHF 189 million to CHF 192 million.
The combination matters more than the sales line alone: first-half revenue decreased by 0.9 percent year over year, but EBITDA increased by CHF 14 million and net profit by CHF 3 million. The figures indicate that profitability improved despite lower reported sales, making margin delivery a central point for the 2026 investment case.
Stock remains close to the low
At CHF 91,200.00 on September 21, 2026, the registered share traded about 6.0 percent above the 52-week low of CHF 86,000.00. The session range from CHF 89,000.00 to CHF 91,400.00 shows that the daily recovery occurred within a narrow part of the broader annual range, while no market capitalization or volume figure is included without a consistent dated quote.
