July 21 (Reuters) – Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli (LISN.S), said on Tuesday its sales grew organically in the first half of 2026, in line with its full-year growth target, supported by price hikes and growth in North America.
The company, which increased product prices by 11.8% in the period compared to a year before, said the performance was affected by geopolitical uncertainties and market volatility, which weighed on consumer sentiment and tourism flows especially in Europe.
Tourism is particularly important for the chocolate bunny maker, whose products are sold at airports and in major tourist destinations such as London, Paris and Vienna.
The chocolatier reported organic half-year sales of 2.33 billion Swiss francs ($2.88 billion), marking a 4.3% rise from the same period last year. It had in March forecast organic growth of 4% to 6% for the year, which it reiterated on Tuesday.
