Sika reported 2.9% organic revenue growth during the first half of the year, with a sharp acceleration in the second quarter. Full-year guidance for sales growth in local currencies was raised by 2% to between 3% and 6%. Shares are trading 6% higher intraday July 28.
Sika’s products exhibit sustainability features, benefiting from several structural growth drivers, such as decarbonizing cement production and renovation activity to improve energy efficiency
Demand is tied to the cyclical construction and automotive sectors, which have led Sika to lower its medium-term revenue targets. A declining Chinese residential market shows no signs of recovering in the short term. Margins are also likely to be affected by higher oil prices.
