Swiss chocolate giant Lindt & Sprüngli achieved profit growth of around 10% in 2025, well above market expectations. The high cocoa prices, which have risen sharply in recent years, were successfully passed on to consumers.
Almost 20% more expensive
With an operating profit (EBIT) of 971 million Swiss francs – equivalent to around 1.25 billion euros – Lindt exceeded the average analyst forecast. Sales rose organically by 12.4%, partly thanks to an average price increase of 19%. Thanks to the chocolate brand’s strong position in the premium segment, consumers seem willing to pay the higher prices, even in times of economic uncertainty.
