New offering adds Extract Transform Load capabilities to the Precisely Data Integrity Suite's Data Integration service

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced a new OEM partnership with Matillion, the intelligent data integration platform, bringing cloud-native Extract Transform Load (ETL) capabilities to the Precisely Data Integrity Suite. The new offering enables organizations to move, transform, and prepare data within a single suite of interoperable services, eliminating reliance on fragmented tools and manual ETL processes.

ETL capabilities powered by Matillion expand the Precisely Data Integrity Suite's Data Integration service with scalable data transformation and pipeline automation, complementing its enterprise-grade data replication. By combining Matillion's modern, cloud-native transformation platform with the broader Precisely Data Integrity Suite that includes services for data quality, governance, enrichment, and more, organizations can modernize data environments faster and deliver AI-ready data to power AI, automation, and analytics initiatives across the enterprise.

"AI ambition only delivers ROI when the data behind it is modern, scalable, and trustworthy," said Ulf Viney, Executive Vice President of Engineering, Support & Operations at Precisely. "By embedding cloud-native ETL directly into the Data Integrity Suite, we're eliminating fragmentation and giving organizations a unified foundation to move, prepare, and trust their data, accelerating their path to Agentic-Ready Data."

Data transformation remains one of the most complex and time-consuming steps in building data pipelines. Organizations manage data across highly complex environments, including on-premises systems, cloud platforms, and SaaS applications, where inconsistent formats and structures require extensive preparation before implementation.

"As organizations modernize for analytics and AI, simplifying data integration architectures has become a priority," said Stewart Bond, Vice President, Data Intelligence and Integration Software Research, IDC. "Embedding cloud-native ETL within a broader data integrity framework reflects the shift toward more unified data platforms that reduce complexity, improve trust, and better support AI-driven use cases."

Embedded directly within the Precisely Data Integrity Suite, ETL powered by Matillion enables users to extract data from multiple sources, transform it into usable formats, and deliver it to the systems that drive business outcomes, thereby reducing pipeline fragmentation and operational overhead.

"Matillion helps organizations move faster by simplifying and accelerating transformation workflows," said Tim O'Neil, Chief Revenue Officer at Matillion. "Powered by embedded Matillion cloud-native transformation technology, Precisely combines modern pipeline execution with enterprise-grade data integrity, enabling customers to build scalable pipelines more efficiently and unlock greater value from their data.."

• Low-code, cloud-native ETL/ELT for rapid pipeline development
• Scalable data transformation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
• Faster time-to-insight for analytics and reporting
• Trusted data foundations for AI and advanced decision-making

Lindt & Sprüngli liefert operative Rekordzahlen – und erlebt an der Börse dennoch einen heftigen Rückschlag. Die Partizipationsscheine des Premiumschokoladen-Herstellers brachen am Dienstag im frühen Handel zeitweise bis auf 11'000 Franken ein, ein Minus im Tief von deutlich über 7 Prozent. Auslöser ist nicht das vergangene Geschäftsjahr, in dem Lindt EBIT, Reingewinn und Marge im Rahmen oder leicht über den Konsensschätzungen abgeliefert hat, sondern die spürbar zurückgenommene Wachstumsprognose für das laufende Jahr.

Nach einem preisgetriebenen Umsatzplus und einer EBIT-Marge von rund 16,4 Prozent im Jahr 2025, die damit innerhalb der eigenen Zielspanne lag, stellt der Konzern für 2026 nur noch ein organisches Wachstum von 4 bis 6 Prozent in Aussicht. Zuvor lag der Korridor bei 6 bis 8 Prozent. Bereits für das laufende Jahr hatte Lindt seine „übliche“ Wachstumsbandbreite von 6 bis 8 Prozent im Januar noch bestätigt, nur um sie nun auf 4 bis 6 Prozent zu senken. Begründet wird dies mit geopolitischen Spannungen rund um den Iran-Krieg, höheren Energiepreisen, gedämpfter Konsumstimmung und möglichen Belastungen für den Tourismus – was speziell die Verkäufe an Flughäfen und in touristischen Hotspots treffen könnte.

Ein Teil der Analysten zweifelt jedoch daran, dass geopolitische Risiken die alleinige oder wesentliche Erklärung für die vorsichtigere Tonlage sind. So verweist Bernstein auf den vergleichsweise geringen Anteil des Nahen Ostens am Gesamtumsatz von Lindt von lediglich rund 1 bis 2 Prozent. Für Beobachter wie Vontobel-Analyst Jean-Philippe Bertschy signalisiert die neue Guidance daher vor allem Unsicherheit darüber, ob der Konzern nach einem Jahr, in dem das Wachstum praktisch komplett aus massiven Preiserhöhungen und nicht aus steigenden Volumen kam, die Absatzmengen 2026 tatsächlich wieder erhöhen kann.

Gleichzeitig fährt Lindt die Aktionärsvergütung deutlich hoch. Die Dividende soll für das abgelaufene Jahr stärker als erwartet steigen: Je Namenaktie werden 1'800 Franken in Aussicht gestellt – rund 200 Franken mehr als die Analystenschätzungen. Zudem plant das Unternehmen ein neues Aktienrückkaufprogramm von bis zu 1 Milliarde Franken und erhöht die Dividende beim Partizipationsschein auf 180 Franken. Nach einer rund 19-prozentigen Preiserhöhung im Jahr 2025, die trotz rückläufiger Verkaufsvolumina für ein Umsatzwachstum von 8,2 Prozent auf 5,92 Milliarden Franken sorgte, richtet Lindt damit seine Kapitalallokation stärker auf Ausschüttungen aus. An der Börse überlagern allerdings Zweifel an der künftigen Wachstumsdynamik derzeit den positiven Cashflow-Ausweis – der Bewertungsbonus einer vermeintlich verlässlichen Wachstumsgeschichte steht zur Disposition.
