Alcon Shares Fall After Lowering 2025 Outlook

Dow Jones

May 14, 2025

By Katherine Hamilton

Alcon shares fell after the company lowered its earnings outlook for the year.

The stock fell 6% to $87.29 on Wednesday. Shares are down 2% in the past year.

The maker of eye-care devices said it was incorporating an $80 million cost from tariffs and expects new trade duties would pressure net sales.

It is now anticipating earnings per share of $3.05 to $3.15 for the year, down from previous guidance of $3.15 to $3.25.

For the first quarter, Alcon posted a profit of $350 million, or 70 cents a share, compared with $248 million, or 50 cents a share, the prior year. Revenue rose to $2.45 billion, up from $2.44 billion the year before.
