Schindler shares have been under a dark cloud this year, down -11% ytd vs +8% for the SXNP(faring better still than Kone,-19%). Its underperformance against the sector can partly beexplained by the postponement of their June CMD to November, delaying a core catalyst inwhich the pathway to higher mid-term margin ambitions are likely to be laid out. Schindler hascapitalized on the weakness in its shares, extending its ongoing CHF 500m buyback by CHF200m (c.1% of mkt cap). In the near-term we see a delayed recovery in organic sales growth Close Date24 Jun 2026SCHP.SW Close Price (CHF)266.40Price Target (CHF)310.00Upside/(Downside)16%52-Week Range314.82/253.60EDME1,578.05FYEDecDiv Yield2.3%Market Cap (CHF) (M)27,946EV (CHF) (M)24,441 as well for Q2, with a pick-up in H2 likely needed to deliver the current upper end of the FY Downside risk to consensus sales growth for Q2 and FY26?The twin drags of selectivityin China (new installations, NI) and US (service) are contributing to a growth inertia. We expectlimited sequential acceleration in LFL growth from the 1.7% in Q1. The NI backdrop in Chinacontinues to be challenged, and Schindler’s idiosyncratic NI and service selectivity and freshregional management team could continue to weigh on performance, though we understandthe growth delta to the market should narrow (especially in H2). Another quarter of LSD Margin expectations more benign.Schindler historically delivers a +30-40bps sequential(Q1 → Q2) margin improvement, and we land at the upper end of that range, modeling a13.6% adj. EBIT margin for Q2’26 (+40bps qoq, +10bps yoy). Price / cost dynamics shouldbe improving, as US price increases following tariffs in Q2’25 can start flowing throughthe NI P&L, while maintenance and repair pricing is supportive. Fuel costs are better thanexpected (prior FY26e CHF 150m), and raw material costs are bounded at CHF 25m forthe full-year, weighted to Q2 vs Q1.

We expect this dark cloud weighing investor sentiment to persist, at least through H2 and until theNov 19th CMD, and reiterate Schindler Market-Perform with a price target of CHF310. EXHIBIT 2:... is weighed strongly by the (principally China) NI drag, positioning us below consensus.
