  In view of the future Higgs factories, this work presents the status of
scalar searches at the LHC with an emphasis on the H(650) resonance which has
been observed in WW, ZZ and h(95)h(125) channels, with a cumulative evidence of
about 7 s.d. global significance. Its interpretation in models, restricted to
extension of the scalar sector by SU(2) singlets and doublets, is clearly
excluded, while its interpretation in models with additional triplets requires
an extension with respect to the conventional Georgi-Machacek model. A general
picture of these searches is updated, showing that h(95) is also reaching a
similar level of evidence while two other candidates, A(400) and h(151),
although less prominent, are above the 4 s.d. global evidence.
