Alcon remains a leader in eye care, benefiting from strong market positioning and long-term industry tailwinds like aging populations and technological advances. Recent M&A activity, including the STAAR Surgical acquisition, enhances long-term growth but pressures near-term earnings and raises valuation concerns. Despite solid sales growth and manageable debt, shares trade at a demanding 29-30x earnings multiple, which I view as fully valued given current growth rates.
U.S. stock futures were slightly lower this morning, with the S&P 500 futures falling around 0.1% on Wednesday.
The company said it expects a $100 million hit from tariffs this year.
The headline numbers for Alcon (ALC) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended June 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
