The market has treated Sulzer gently in recent weeks, with the stock up around 11.6% over the past month and closing at CHF152.3 on the day of the H1 2026 release. The headline from the numbers is not revenue growth; it is margin power. Sulzer lifted its reported EBITDA margin to about 15.5% in the first half while holding sales broadly steady.

Forbo Holding stock came into this earnings day with a strong recent run, up about 22% over three months, and already priced as a quality flooring and adhesives specialist with an appealing P/E and discounted valuation story.
