Symrise (ISIN DE000SYM9999) was trading at EUR 91.37 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 1:45 p.m. CEST, up 0.15 percent versus the prior close of EUR 91.23. The latest corporate figure is a share buyback: Finanznachrichten reported on September 28, 2026 that Symrise bought 141,600 shares between September 21 and September 25, bringing cumulative purchases since February 2, 2026 to 4,232,618 shares.
Buyback reaches 4.23 million shares
The reported purchases carried a weighted average price of EUR 92.4990 per share, while the cumulative total represented the central figure in the September 28, 2026 regulatory update. The buyback therefore continued near the current Lang & Schwarz quotation, although the two prices refer to different dates and market conditions.
First-half sales reach EUR 2.539 billion
Investing.com reported that Symrise generated EUR 2.539 billion in sales in the first half of 2026 and achieved 4.50 percent organic growth in the second quarter. The same summary said the company reaffirmed its full-year outlook, giving the buyback a financial backdrop of improving quarterly momentum rather than a standalone capital-markets event.
The company's investor-relations page lists fiscal 2025 revenue of EUR 4.929 billion, organic growth of 2.80 percent and an EBITDA margin of 21.90 percent, excluding the impairment of associated company Swedencare. That comparison places the first-half 2026 sales figure beside a clearly identified full-year reference, while the margin shows the profitability level reported for fiscal 2025.
Next results date is October 29
Investing.com lists October 29, 2026 as Symrise's next earnings date. The timing matters because the next report can test whether the 4.50 percent second-quarter organic-growth rate carries into the second half of the year.
