Roche confirms annual forecast after strong third quarter

In the third quarter, group revenue rose 7 percent at constant exchange rates. The figure indicates that Roche continued to deliver solid growth in the first nine months of the year.

Roche traditionally does not publish profit figures for the third quarter. Accordingly, the current announcement does not contain a confirmed profit figure for this quarterly period.

Outlook and dividend

The confirmation of the annual outlook is an important point of reference for investors. It signals that Roche continues to uphold the expectations for growth and earnings previously stated.

The positive development also supports the assessment of the dividend plan. Another increase in the Swiss franc dividend would further raise distributions to shareholders.

The announcement therefore confirms both the company's operational momentum and its fundamental commitment to continued growth in the current financial year.

The current announcement provides no further details on revenue, earnings or future quarters. It remains focused on the confirmed annual forecast, third-quarter revenue and dividend intention.
