Shares of Alcon fell after the company posted a lower second-quarter profit and cut its full-year sales outlook, saying it expected a full-year tariff impact of $100 million.
The stock was down 9.1% to $81.89.
The Swiss eyecare company reported net income of $176 million, or 35 cents a share, down from $223 million, or 45 cents a share, the previous year. The company said it saw lower operating income, including $4 million of product discontinuation charges.
Sales rose to $2.58 billion from $2.48 billion the year prior. The company said the top-line gains were due to robust demand for recent product launches.
The company lowered its full-year revenue outlook to $10.3 billion to $10.4 billion, down from its previous guidance of $10.4 billion to $10.5 billion.
