Lonza Group stock (ISIN CH0013841017) is trading at EUR 685.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 10:03 a.m. CEST. The company confirmed 11-12 percent constant-exchange-rate sales growth and a 33-34 percent CORE EBITDA margin for 2026 in its October 14 update, according to Lonza.

Three milestones since September

The company nominated Pearl Huang as an independent board member on September 30, 2026, according to Lonza. On October 12, 2026, it expanded its dual-payload antibody-drug-conjugate technology offering through exclusive access to Qurient's CDK7 program, also listed by Lonza.

The October 14, 2026 capital markets update added a medium-term organic sales-growth model of 10-13 percent at constant exchange rates and a CORE EBITDA margin goal in the high thirties. The same update said third-quarter 2026 performance was in line with expectations across all business platforms.

What does the margin target mean?

The near-term measure is execution against the 33-34 percent CORE EBITDA margin outlook for fiscal year 2026. The medium-term model is broader, with 10-13 percent organic sales growth over time and an ambition to lift return on invested capital to two to three times the weighted average cost of capital.

Analyst targets provide a separate valuation reference. CLSA raised its Lonza target from CHF 759 to CHF 778 on October 16, 2026, while retaining its Accumulate rating, according to Borse Express. The target is denominated in Swiss francs and is therefore separate from the euro quotation.

Trading reference for Lonza

For investors, the key distinction is between the confirmed 2026 outlook and the more ambitious medium-term framework. The October update delivered a current operating benchmark, while the analyst target reflects a separate view on valuation.

Lonza Group stock was trading at EUR 685.10 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 10:03 a.m. CEST.
