Jungfraubahn Holding AG Reports Record Profit in First Half of 2025
In a remarkable financial performance, Jungfraubahn Holding AG, a key player in the Swiss ground transportation sector, has announced a record-breaking profit for the first half of 2025. The company, which operates as a merger of the Jungfraubahn and Wengernalpbahn, has reported a historic half-year profit of CHF 37 million, marking a 7.3% increase over the previous year’s figures.
This impressive financial milestone is primarily attributed to a significant rise in transport income, which for the first time surpassed the CHF 100 million mark. The transport income reached CHF 107.2 million in the first half of 2025, an 8.2% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth underscores the company’s robust operational performance and its ability to attract more visitors to the scenic Jungfrau Alps.
The financial success comes at a pivotal moment for Jungfraubahn Holding AG, as the company recently underwent a leadership transition. In mid-June, Oliver Hammel took over as CEO from Urs Kessler. Hammel expressed optimism about the company’s future, highlighting the solid foundation and positive prospects he inherited. “I was able to take over the management of a rock-solid company with positive outlooks and an independently functioning team,” Hammel stated, signaling confidence in the company’s strategic direction and operational capabilities.
With a market capitalization of CHF 1.17 billion and a price-to-earnings ratio of 15.02816, Jungfraubahn Holding AG continues to demonstrate strong financial health and growth potential. The company’s shares, traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange, closed at CHF 201 on August 26, 2025, reflecting investor confidence in its performance and future prospects.
As Jungfraubahn Holding AG looks to the future, the record profit serves as a testament to its resilience and adaptability in the competitive ground transportation industry. The company’s strategic focus on enhancing visitor experiences and expanding its service offerings in the Jungfrau Alps region positions it well for sustained growth and success in the years to come.
