Softwareone’s shares rose 13.2% on Tuesday after the Swiss cloud and software solutions provider reported strong first-half results and provided an update on its integration of the Crayon acquisition.
The company’s stock reached a new 52-week high of CHF 9.85, up from its 52-week low of CHF 5.83. The move contrasted with flat U.S. equity markets, where the S&P 500 declined 0.1% and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%, underscoring the stock’s company-specific momentum.
Softwareone reported group revenue of CHF 818.3 million for the first half of 2026, a 68.2% increase year-over-year under IFRS standards. On a like-for-like constant currency basis, combined revenue grew 11.6%. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 24.9% for the half-year, up 4.5 percentage points from the prior-year period, while the second-quarter margin rose to 28.9%, a 5.4 percentage point improvement.
The company also highlighted progress in integrating its acquisition of Crayon. Softwareone achieved CHF 100 million in run-rate cost synergies six months ahead of schedule, with an additional CHF 5–10 million in synergies expected in the second half of 2026. Total integration costs were revised downward to CHF 75–85 million, below prior estimates, and the integration process was declared substantially complete.
Leadership changes were also noted, with Raphael Erb assuming the role of sole CEO on August 1, 2026, following the departure of former co-CEO Melissa Mulholland earlier this year.
