What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Even while Jefferies cut its price target on Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli from CHF 83,580 to CHF 72,260, the firm pointed to company guidance and first half results as support for a cautious but still engaged view on the stock, rather than stepping away entirely.
-
Deutsche Bank, which adjusted its target from CHF 108,000 to CHF 93,500, keeps a Hold rating. That signals the bank still sees Lindt as fairly balanced on risk and reward at current valuation levels.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
Both Jefferies and Oddo BHF now rate Lindt Underperform, with Jefferies flagging persistent margin concerns and the trade off between rebuilding volumes and protecting profitability as key pressure points.
-
Oddo BHF's downgrade from Neutral to Underperform, with a CHF 76,000 target, reflects a view that the company's outlook is optimistic, which may limit room for disappointment if execution or growth in volumes falls short of expectations.
