Compagnie Financière Tradition reported 1H26 net profit of CHF 79.1 mn (+12.6% YoY), beating consensus driven by strong joint venture contributions and financial result improvements. Zürcher Kantonalbank maintains its Market Perform rating due to Swiss franc appreciation headwinds offsetting favorable macro volatility.
Key Takeaways

- 2.Reported EBIT of CHF 88.0 mn (-0.2% YoY) came in slightly below consensus and ZKB estimates due to CHF appreciation against USD/JPY and higher personnel/D&A costs, though constant-currency EBIT rose 7% YoY.
