Action (NESNE) Nestle Forum Analyses

This week is the best of the year for real number crunchers: More than forty listed companies will present their half-year report. These include small companies such as the Walliser Kantonalbank (WKBN), but also big names on the Swiss market such as $ROG (+1,18 %) and $NESNE / $NESN (+0,38 %) . Naturally, observers will be keeping a close eye on the outlook for the second half of the year.

On Monday, only the climate specialist Belimo $B9H will report on the first half of the year.

Seven companies have announced their reports for Tuesday. These are the logistics company Kuehne + Nagel $KNIN (+0,33 %)
, the chocolate manufacturer Lindt & Sprüngli
$LISN (+1,13 %) and the fragrance producer Givaudan $GIVN (+0,8 %)
, also reporting Logitech $LOGN (+0,48 %), Dätwyler $DAE (+1,48 %)
, Temenos $TEMN (-1,1 %) and the Valais Cantonal Bank ($WKBN). At Lindt & Sprüngli $LISN (+1,13 %) will be watching for comments on the high cocoa prices. At Kühne + Nagel $KNIN (+0,33 %) the renewed increase in the complexity of sea transportation due to the threat to shipping in the Red Sea could have an initial positive effect.

On Wednesday, nine companies will give an insight into their finances. For example, the goods inspector SGS
$SGSN (+0,73 %) and also Bobst ($BOBNN) , So $ALSN (+0,41 %)
Cembra Money Bank $CMBN (-0,49 %)
, Cicor $CICN (+0,32 %)
Cosmo Pharmaceuticals $COPN (+1,13 %)
EFG International $EFGN (-0,78 %)

and Medacta $MOVE (+1,02 %)
. At SGS $SGSN (+0,73 %) it is to be expected that, as in previous quarters, decent sales growth will be offset by negative exchange rate effects.

, Roche $ROG (+1,18 %)
, Lonza
$LONN (+0,91 %) and Julius Baer $BAER (+1,02 %)
