0635 GMT - SGS might hit its 2027 targets one year ahead of plan, as its 2025 results show it is making progress toward its objectives, Bernstein's Will Kirkness and Filippo Giardini say in a research note. The Swiss testing, inspection and certification company reported 2025 earnings that exceeded consensus expectations, with organic sales growth in line with views, the analysts say. It confirmed 2027 targets, including an improvement of at least 1.5 percentage points in adjusted operating profit margin, but said it is on track to exceed them. "The proposed [capital markets day] before the end of 2026 suggests that the reiterated 2027 strategy could be achieved a year ahead of plan--16.2% margin--with strong progress also seen in growing sustainability, digital trust and North America revenues," the analysts say.
