Alcon is an eye care company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with major operations in Fort Worth, Texas. Its roots go back to a pharmacy founded in Fort Worth in 1945. Nestlé acquired Alcon in the late 1970s, Novartis took it over in stages, and in 2019 it became an independent public company through a spin-off. Alcon is organized into two segments: Surgical, covering equipment and intraocular lenses for cataract surgery, vitreoretinal and refractive surgery, and Vision Care, with contact lenses such as Dailies and Precision1 as well as eye drops like Systane.
Customers include ophthalmologists, hospitals, surgery centers, optometrists, opticians and consumers worldwide, with the United States as the largest market. An aging population with more cataracts and rising myopia rates support long-term demand, while competition from Johnson & Johnson Vision, Bausch + Lomb and CooperVision is intense. Alcon trades on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker ALC, is also listed in New York and is a member of the SMI.
The current price of Alcon stock is $71.61 (+2.27% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $72.07 and the low $68.72.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
