AXA SA (FR0000120620) stock closed at EUR 44.07 on August 24, 2026, up EUR 0.35 or 0.80%, while its market capitalization stood at EUR 92.146 billion and the 52-week range ran from EUR 36.55 to EUR 45.66.
The shares also traded within a one-day range of EUR 43.72 to EUR 44.15, with volume at 548,582 and an average volume of 2,892,776, showing a session that stayed orderly rather than stretched.
Valuation stays tight
AXA's trailing P/E was 11.78, the forward P/E 10.46, and the price-to-sales ratio 0.79 as of August 21, 2026, which keeps the stock valued more like a mature insurer than a high-growth financials name.
That matters because the company reported revenue of EUR 96.79 billion on a trailing basis and net income attributable to common shareholders of EUR 7.65 billion, with diluted EPS at 3.71.
