Lindt & Spruengli reported a robust 2025, with organic sales growth jumping 12.4%, surpassing market projections. The premium chocolate maker posted full-year revenue of 5.92 billion Swiss francs, slightly above the 5.90 billion analysts anticipated. This success was driven by widespread price increases, averaging 19% across the business.

Adalbert Lechner, Lindt's Group CEO, attributed the growth to consumers' enduring desire for quality and exceptional chocolate experiences. Despite the price hikes, Lindt is confident in its strategy, reiterating its medium- to long-term targets of 6% to 8% organic sales growth and annual operating margin expansion of 20 to 40 basis points for fiscal 2026 and beyond. Looking ahead, Lindt guided for an increase in operating profit margin at the lower end of the 20 to 40 basis point range.

The company will release its full annual results on March 10, 2026. This performance reflects Lindt's ability to maintain its premium position in a challenging market, where high-quality chocolate remains a sought-after indulgence.
