The SFS share fell about 7.6% to CHF 129.2 after UBS cut its rating from "Buy" to "Neutral", assessing the risk-reward as balanced following the recent price rise. The bank did raise its price target to CHF 145 and increased its earnings estimates for 2026–27, but warned of a slowdown in earnings momentum in the second half of the year. SFS had reported strong half-year figures: adjusted EBIT of CHF 206 million (+22.5%) and organic revenue growth of 4.0%, which beat analysts' expectations, but that was not enough to stop the selling pressure after the reassessment. » Altro su de.investing.com
