Lindt and Treatonomics

For the Board and leadership, the financial results for the year ending 31 December 2025 and the subsequent strategic guidance released today reveal a market transitioning from an inflation-driven value-growth environment to a more complex, volume-starved environment defined by geopolitical uncertainty and regulatory pressure.
