The company reported nine-month sales growth of 4.8 percent in local currencies and reiterated its 2026 guidance in a release dated October 23, 2026, published by GlobeNewswire.

Nine-month sales broaden the picture

For the first nine months of 2026, Sika generated CHF 8.71 billion in sales, an increase of 1.6 percent in Swiss francs from CHF 8.58 billion in the comparable 2025 period. Organic growth contributed 3.5 percent, while acquisitions added 1.3 percent. The figures show that currency effects remain material: the release reported a negative currency impact of 3.2 percent.

Profitability was steadier than the top-line currency figure. EBITDA increased 1.9 percent to CHF 1.68 billion, while the EBITDA margin held at 19.2 percent. Net profit rose 1.9 percent to CHF 887.8 million, and diluted earnings per share increased to CHF 5.52 from CHF 5.42 in the first nine months of 2025. Investing.com reported that Jefferies analysts viewed the third-quarter performance as a small positive surprise, while margin development drew attention as volumes slowed and raw-material costs rose.

What do the acquisitions add?

Sika agreed to acquire Resonac Corporation's Asian adhesives business on October 21, 2026, with completion expected in mid-2027, according to FinanzNachrichten. The business expands Sika's automotive adhesive offering and adds access to customer relationships in Asia. The chronology also includes Sika's October 9, 2026 acquisition of Azpects Group and its third-quarter completion of the Akkim acquisition, both identified in the results release.

Reporting dates remain important

Sika's October 23, 2026 webcast covers the nine-month results. The company's financial calendar lists the full-year results presentation for February 19, 2027, followed by the Capital Markets Day on March 11, 2027, in the same release. Guidance remains local-currency growth of 3 percent to 6 percent and an EBITDA margin of 19.0 percent to 19.5 percent for 2026.

Stock price and market value

Sika's primary listing is on the Swiss Stock Exchange, where the finance quote showed CHF 181.45 at 7:59 a.m. UTC on October 23, 2026. The same quote showed a market capitalization of CHF 29.1 billion and a 52-week range of CHF 120.35 to CHF 197.60. For investors, the central question is whether margin stability and acquisition-led growth can offset the weaker Chinese construction market.
