Switzerland
At last, the sanitary specialist Geberit (ticker symbol: GEBN SW) is once again showing a clear upward trend. The latest quarterly results have surprised numerous financial analysts and are raising new hopes for the coming years. Under these conditions, the operating result (EBIT) could improve from CHF 755 million in 2022 to around CHF 879.8 million in 2027. This would make the share considerably more attractive, especially as the price/earnings ratio (P/E ratio) could fall below 30 points for the first time by 2027.
