Novartis shares experienced a slight decline in SIX SX trading on Monday afternoon, with the price falling 0.2 percent to CHF 104.02. This development comes despite the recent announcement of positive quarterly figures, which reported earnings per share of CHF 1.71, an increase compared to the previous year’s figure of CHF 1.45. Sales also rose by 2.57 percent to CHF 11.61 billion.
Interestingly, Novartis shares reached a 52-week high of CHF 106.88 on October 9, 2025, indicating strong performance over this period. Nevertheless, the market appears to be reacting cautiously to current developments, which is reflected in the slight decline in prices. Analysts see the average price target at CHF 98.25, which indicates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding future price developments.
Another positive aspect for investors is the expected increase in dividends. After CHF 3.50 was paid out to shareholders in 2024, analysts are expecting a dividend of USD 4.14 for the current year. This could be an incentive for long-term investors looking for stable returns.
Novartis’ next financial conference is scheduled for October 28, 2025, where third-quarter results will be presented. Experts expect Novartis to continue delivering strong results next year, with 2025 EPS forecasts averaging $8.94 per share. These expectations could strengthen investor confidence and stabilize the price in the long term.
