Galenica just served up earnings that look stronger than the recent share price would suggest. The stock closed at CHF82.2 on 7 August, with the past month and quarter both in slightly negative territory.

Net margin on a trailing basis now sits at 8.9%, lower than 10.2% a year earlier, even as management leans on Italian synergies and Swiss...

Swiss Re stock closed at CHF138.50, capping a solid 90 day run that left holders already sitting on a double digit gain before these results hit the tape. The headline today is simple.

H1 2026 results gave that debate fresh fuel. Net sales reached about US$5.8b with a core earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation...
