Medartis Holding stock has been on a tear, with a 3 month gain of about 22% heading into today, and the valuation now up at roughly 78x trailing P/E.

The market has been paying a rich multiple for growth and profitability, so this margin performance now becomes the key lens for both short term traders and long term holders. Love...

Basilea Pharmaceutica stock closed at CHF62.50 on Wednesday after a strong run over the past month. Yet the real story sits in the earnings print that just landed. The headline is a cleaner, more profitable anti infectives business, with H1 2026 revenue of CHF118.996m translating into net income of CHF27.946m and basic earnings per share of CHF2.26.

PSP Swiss Property closed at CHF142.30 on Wednesday, capping a three month drift lower even as fresh Q2 numbers put eye catching profits on the table. The market reaction looks muted compared with the headline story. Net income excluding extra items reached CHF171.75m on CHF236.46m of revenue, helped by sizeable valuation gains and disposals that are hard to treat as everyday earnings power. That tension between a rich profit print today and softer multi year forecasts is the real hinge for...

Phoenix Mecano stock closed at CHF443 today, only slightly above where it was trading a month ago, even after investors digested fresh half year numbers.

SKAN Group delivered a sharp reset in profitability with net profit of CHF5.4m and an EBITDA margin of 9.3% on CHF164.5m of net sales. Order intake of CHF247.6m and a CHF442m backlog reflect why the growth story still commands a premium P/E...

Novartis stock has delivered a strong 88.5% return over the past five years, and the valuation checks now point to a company that looks undervalued on market multiples but not as a straightforward bargain across every metric.

Protecting cash flows from key products such as Entresto, supported by the recent UK court win on its patent,...
