should be more flattish for SIG on little incremental demand for dairy and juices (in some Joern Iffert, CFA

We expect the company to confirm the 2026 guidance of +0-2% y/y (UBSe +1.9%,

cons. +1%) organic sales with an EBIT margin improvement of +0-50bp y/y to 15.7- Patrick Rafaisz, CFA, FRM

room for some upside risk to full year consensus (depends of course also how the

oil/ polymer price develops). Investor sentiment should improve with Q2 26E results

showing operational resilience despite higher raw mat prices.

Valuation: DCF based PT of CHF15

The stock trades on 2027E 16.5x PE which looks compelling to us.
