Holcim posts strong Q1 2026, doubles down on LatAm, sustainability and AI

Holcim ( (CH:HOLN) ) has shared an update.

Holcim reported a strong start to 2026, with organic net sales up 3.9% to CHF 3.52 billion and organic recurring EBIT rising 8.3% to CHF 431 million, driven by cost discipline, operational efficiency and growing demand for its premium and sustainable products. The group maintained full-year guidance, underscoring confidence in its NextGen Growth 2030 strategy and resilience across market cycles.
