Alcon's 2026 forecast puts core earnings growth ahead of sales, as the company projects core diluted EPS to increase 12% to 14% and sales to rise about 6%.
Alcon calculates the two growth rates from 2025 results after adjusting for foreign-exchange movements. The projected EPS growth range is 6 to 8 percentage points above the sales-growth estimate.
Alcon CEO David J. Endicott set a $250 million to $400 million peak-sales target for ENCELTO during the Nov. 11 earnings call.
