Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its Doors segment, which includes sanitary equipment, contributing CHF 501.56 million.

Insider Ownership: 28.8%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 80% p.a.

Arbonia, a Swiss building materials group, is navigating a strategic shift by planning to sell its climate division to concentrate on its doors business. This move follows unsolicited interest and aims at enhancing shareholder returns through significant proceeds distribution and debt reduction. Despite Arbonia's revenue growth forecast of 13.9% per year outpacing the Swiss market's 4.3%, its expected profitability in three years and below-market return on equity forecasts suggest mixed growth prospects.

Leonteq (SWX:LEON)

Operations: The company generates CHF 256.88 million from its brokerage services.

Insider Ownership: 12.7%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 26.4% p.a.

Leonteq, a Swiss financial services firm, is experiencing a notable leadership transition with Hans Widler stepping in as CFO. Despite slower revenue growth projections at 10.1% annually compared to higher market averages, Leonteq's earnings are expected to rise significantly by 26.4% per year over the next three years. However, challenges persist with profit margins dropping from last year's 34.2% to 8%, and debt coverage by operating cash flow remains weak. The company trades at a substantial discount of 76.3% below estimated fair value, indicating potential undervaluation amidst these financial dynamics.

Recent strategic moves include appointing Jean-Pierre Brulard as CEO and expanding Citi Securities Services' use of its Multifonds platform globally, enhancing its operational efficiency across multiple geographies.
