Half-year 2026 results drive Swisscom stock

Swisscom AG, the Swiss telecommunications group, gave investors a detailed look at its latest interim results on August 6, 2026 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. According to finanzen.ch, earnings per share in this quarter rose to 6.51 CHF, compared with 5.00 CHF in the same quarter of the prior year, marking an increase of about 30.2 percent for Q2 2026 versus Q2 2025.

The same overview from finanzen.ch reports that Swisscom generated revenue of 3.62 billion CHF in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of 1.95 percent compared with the revenue in the prior-year quarter. For investors, this combination of rising profitability per share and slightly shrinking top-line revenue underlines the importance of cost discipline and margin development in Swisscom's current strategy.

Dividend expectations and full-year EPS outlook

Beyond the latest quarter, Swisscom remains a core income stock in the Swiss market. As noted by finanzen.ch, Swisscom paid a dividend of 26.00 CHF per share for fiscal year 2025. Analysts cited in the same article forecast a dividend increase to 27.00 CHF per share for the current year 2026, implying a positive delta of 1.00 CHF or about 3.8 percent compared with the prior year.

Analysts are also constructive on the 2026 earnings trajectory. According to the earnings expectations compiled by finanzen.ch, experts currently estimate that Swisscom could achieve earnings per share of 27.39 CHF for the full year 2026. Set against the quarterly EPS of 6.51 CHF reported for Q2 2026, the forecast suggests that Swisscom must maintain solid profitability in the second half of the year to reach this target, keeping investor attention firmly on upcoming reporting dates.
