Sulzer stock (ISIN CH0038388911) was last quoted at CHF 159.70 on the SIX Swiss Exchange on October 2, 2026, up 1.53 percent on the session. The latest half-year figures put revenue at CHF 1.67 billion against an estimated CHF 1.70 billion, according to TradingView. The stock move therefore sits alongside a mixed earnings comparison rather than a clear revenue beat.

Half-year earnings trail estimates

TradingView reports half-year earnings per share of CHF 4.05 against an estimated CHF 4.70, a negative surprise of 13.83 percent. The same data set puts half-year net income at CHF 137.80 million, compared with CHF 165.30 million in the previous report.

The operating picture is stronger than the earnings comparison alone suggests. EBITDA stood at CHF 565.10 million, with an EBITDA margin of 15.85 percent in the latest half-year period, according to TradingView. For investors, the margin and the gap between earnings and revenue estimates are the key checkpoints for the next update.

Price remains below the yearly high

Sulzer shares reached CHF 180.60 as their 52-week high on February 20, 2026, and stood at CHF 121.60 at the 52-week low. On October 1, the stock was 11.57 percent below the high after trading at CHF 159.70, while SIX volume reached 12,386 shares, as finanzen.ch reported.

The reference price also sits below the published analyst target range. Fintel lists an average one-year target of CHF 189.54, a median of CHF 196.99, a high of CHF 220.65 and a low of CHF 131.39 as of September 17, 2026; the average target lies 18.7 percent above CHF 159.70, according to Fintel. That spread gives the market a measurable valuation reference, while the earnings-per-share shortfall remains the principal counterweight.
