Lindt & Sprüngli

The Lindt & Sprüngli share is going through a pronounced weakness phase: since the 2025 all-time high it has lost around 35% and is currently trading near a five-year low. Reasons include higher production costs due to more expensive raw cocoa and a growth strategy based on price increases that delivered only 4.3% sales growth in the first half of 2026, with price increases of 11.8% offsetting a 7.5% decline in volume. Analysts have become more skeptical; Vontobel remains confident enough to keep a buy recommendation but has lowered its price targets. The expected P/E for 2027 of 28 is below the long-term average of 35, making the stock more interesting for some investors. » More on handelsblatt.com
