Straumann (CH1175448666) was trading at EUR 94.75 at Lang and Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 10:43 a.m. CEST. On September 23, 2026, Bernstein kept its Outperform rating on the company, according to MarketScreener. The rating followed first-half sales of CHF 1,379.50 million and organic growth of 7.80 percent.

First-half growth supports margins

According to StockSentinel, Straumann reported CHF 1,379.50 million in sales for the first half of 2026, up 7.80 percent organically from the prior-year period. Second-quarter organic growth accelerated to 8.50 percent, giving the revenue trend a stronger sequential profile.

Core EBIT reached CHF 354.80 million in the first half of 2026, while the constant-currency core EBIT margin rose 120 basis points to 26.90 percent, according to StockSentinel. Core net profit increased 15.70 percent to CHF 262.00 million, and free cash flow grew 49.00 percent to CHF 168.60 million.

China remains the counterweight

The operating comparison is constructive, but Straumann still faces pricing pressure in China. The company confirmed full-year 2026 guidance for high-single-digit organic revenue growth and 140 to 170 basis points of core EBIT margin expansion at constant 2025 exchange rates, as reported by StockSentinel.

For investors, the key test is whether volume growth can offset further price reductions under Chinese procurement rules. That question matters because the first-half margin improvement and 15.70 percent core net profit growth currently provide the strongest numerical support for the valuation case.

Next results arrive October 28

Straumann will publish its third-quarter 2026 results on October 28, 2026, at approximately 7:00 a.m. CET, followed by an English-language webcast, according to FT. The next report will show whether the 8.50 percent second-quarter organic growth rate carried into the following quarter.

Lang and Schwarz quoted Straumann at EUR 94.75 on October 8, 2026 at 10:43 a.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Straumann stock.
