Swiss Firms Eye Growth Amid Lower Financing Costs

At the Baader Helvea Swiss Equities Conference 2026, Swiss companies highlighted the relief from reduced financing costs. The conference attracted over 70 leading firms and about 300 investors. One-third of Swiss Market Index companies were present. Attendees engaged in roughly 1,000 meetings and presentations, emphasizing key financial market communications.

The event featured a Trading Forum covering securities trading, ETF trading, and digital assets. CEOs underscored the opportunity to connect with investors. Many firms expressed confidence in growth, despite macroeconomic challenges, due to product diversification and local production expansion.

Swiss firms benefited from reduced US tariffs and the Swiss National Bank's interest rate cut. This environment supports mid-term targets and attractive dividend policies. "Sound equity research is crucial amid uncertainty," noted Oliver Riedel, Deputy CEO of Baader Bank.
