SWX:SGSN Earnings and Revenue Growth February 15th 2026

Taking into account the latest results, the current consensus from SGS’ 18 analysts is for revenues of CHF7.54b in 2026. This would reflect a notable 8.5% increase on its revenue over the past 12 months. Per-share earnings are expected to expand 11% to CHF3.84. In the lead-up to this report, the analysts had been modelling revenues of CHF7.51b and earnings per share (EPS) of CHF3.88 in 2026. The consensus analysts don’t seem to have seen anything in these results that would have changed their view on the business, given there’s been no major change to their estimates.

The analysts reconfirmed their price target of CHF96.66, showing that the business is executing well and in line with expectations. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on SGS, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CHF117 and the most bearish at CHF80.00 per share. Analysts definitely have varying views on the business, but the spread of estimates is not wide enough in our view to suggest that extreme outcomes could await SGS shareholders.

One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The analysts are definitely expecting SGS’ growth to accelerate, with the forecast 8.5% annualised growth to the end of 2026 ranking favourably alongside historical growth of 3.0% per annum over the past five years. Compare this with other companies in the same industry, which are forecast to grow their revenue 5.6% annually. It seems obvious that, while the growth outlook is brighter than the recent past, the analysts also expect SGS to grow faster than the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that there’s been no major change in sentiment, with the analysts reconfirming that the business is performing in line with their previous earnings per share estimates. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it’s tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The consensus price target held steady at CHF96.66, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets.

Following on from that line of thought, we think that the long-term prospects of the business are much more relevant than next year’s earnings. We have estimates - from multiple SGS analysts - going out to 2028, and you can see them free on our platform here.
