Lonza shares slip as sales stagnate

29 January 2025

Switzerland-based Lonza Group (SWX: LONN) was trading nearly 3% lower by lunchtime Wednesday after presenting its financial results for 2024.

The Basel-based company reported 2024 sales of 6.6 billion Swiss francs ($7.3 billion), a 2% decrease compared to the prior year, and core earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were down nearly 5% at 1.91 billion Swiss francs.
