SGS SA

SGS SA is the world's broadest publicly listed testing, inspection and certification group, monetizing accreditation, network density and a century-old reputation for independence across more than 2,500 facilities in 115 countries. In 2025 it generated CHF 6.945 billion of sales at a 16.0% adjusted operating margin and converted profit to cash at roughly 1.9x net income, yet at about 25.9x trailing earnings and a 3.6% dividend yield the market already prices the Strategy 27 reacceleration, leaving no conservative margin of safety against a CHF 80-84 fair value. Rating Hold: a high-quality TIC compounder whose current price captures most of the Strategy 27 improvement and leaves limited conservative upside.
