Sika stock (ISIN CH0418792922) was trading at EUR 189.90 at Lang & Schwarz at 9:11 a.m. CEST on October 14, 2026. The company named Till Leisner as its new head of corporate communications and investor relations on October 12, while Berenberg had raised its target for Sika stock to CHF 240 from CHF 233 on October 6.
Leadership change starts November 1
According to GlobeNewswire on October 12, 2026, Leisner will join Sika on November 1, 2026, succeeding Dominik Slappnig after 16 years with the company. The incoming executive has led investor and media relations at Swiss-listed DKSH Holding since 2012 and previously worked in finance and equity research.
The appointment matters because Sika is approaching its next scheduled reporting milestone with a new contact for capital markets communication. The company remains a specialty chemicals group serving construction and automotive customers across bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protection applications.
What does the target signal?
Markets Insider reported that Berenberg raised its Sika target from CHF 233 to CHF 240 on October 6, 2026, while keeping a Buy rating. The same target move places the bank's assessment above Sika's latest SIX reference level of CHF 176.50 on October 13, 2026, although the currencies differ from the Lang & Schwarz euro quote.
Sika's second-quarter 2026 revenue was CHF 5.59 billion and net profit was CHF 551.3 million, according to Markets Insider on October 12, 2026. The prior-year comparison in the same report was CHF 5.68 billion of revenue and CHF 553.8 million of net profit, pointing to a softer top line and broadly stable earnings.
Three dated developments
On October 1, 2026, Sika presented adhesive growth initiatives and said its Fast Forward program was targeting CHF 80 million of benefit in 2026 and CHF 150 million to CHF 200 million by 2028, according to GlobeNewswire. On October 6, Berenberg lifted its target to CHF 240. On October 12, Sika announced Leisner's November 1 start.
Upcoming reporting date
Sika is scheduled to report nine-month 2026 results on October 23, 2026, according to Simply Wall St. That date will give investors a fresh test of volume trends, margin delivery and the integration benefits highlighted in recent company communications.
