Sales growth remains price led

In the first half of 2026, organic revenue increased 4.3 percent, but price increases contributed 11.8 percent while sales volumes remained under pressure, according to Swissinfo on September 23, 2026. The comparison between the 4.3 percent organic increase and the 11.8 percent price contribution shows why volume recovery remains central to the earnings picture.
