Sulzer (ISIN CH0038388911) booked CHF 2.75 billion in orders during the first nine months of 2026, up 1.80 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to Moneycab on October 13, 2026. The order recovery allowed Sulzer to confirm its full-year outlook.

Three dates shape the story

On September 30, 2026, MarketWatch listed a Buy rating from TipRanks with a USD 190.00 price target. On October 13, 2026, Sulzer reported nine-month order intake of CHF 2.75 billion. On October 16, 2026, the stock last stood at CHF 172.50 on SIX at 5:31 p.m. CEST.

What does the order mix mean?

The headline figure masks a sharp division split. Flow order intake rose 11.60 percent to CHF 1.28 billion during the third quarter of 2026, supported by energy infrastructure demand, while Services order intake fell 0.90 percent to CHF 1.06 billion. Chemtech order intake dropped 14.90 percent to CHF 413.20 million as customers postponed large projects, according to VZ on October 13, 2026.

Sulzer's 2026 guidance calls for organic order-intake growth of 1-5 percent, sales growth of 2-5 percent and a margin of 16.50 percent. The margin target compares with 15.60 percent in 2025, keeping profitability as the key test for the second half of the year. The company also cited a solid order pipeline, while supply-chain disruption and project delays in the Middle East weighed on parts of the portfolio.

Market value and investor perspective

Sulzer's market capitalization was CHF 5.8 billion as of October 16, 2026. Its SIX 52-week range was CHF 126.20 to CHF 180.60 on that date, placing the latest CHF 172.50 quote below the upper end of the range. The combination of stronger Flow demand and weaker Chemtech projects leaves the guidance confirmation dependent on execution across divisions.

For German investors, the latest dated home-market quote was CHF 172.50 on SIX on October 16, 2026 at 5:31 p.m. CEST. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Sulzer stock.
