Berenberg lifts target to EUR 447

The target increase puts the new level EUR 75.52 above the Lang & Schwarz price. That equals 20.33 percent upside from the euro quote, calculated against EUR 371.48, although the two figures refer to different market functions and are not a forecast by this article.

TradingSat reported that Berenberg viewed artificial intelligence recommendations as a potential advantage for major beauty brands. The report also described L'Oreal as the bank's preferred company in the sector.

Half-year growth reaches 6.5 percent

L'Oreal's first-half 2026 performance provides the operating backdrop. The company reported adjusted like-for-like sales growth of 6.5 percent and record operating margins in its July 29, 2026 half-year update, according to L'Oreal Finance.

A separate report put first-half 2026 sales at EUR 23.77 billion and the operating margin at 21.30 percent, up 0.20 percentage points from the prior year, according to AInvest. The comparison matters because the share price is now below both the latest Lang & Schwarz prior close and Berenberg's revised target.

October 22 sales update

L'Oreal's investor-relations calendar lists sales for the nine months ending September 30, 2026, for release after the market on October 22, 2026, according to L'Oreal Finance. That date gives investors the next company-specific checkpoint for testing whether the 6.5 percent first-half growth rate carried into the third quarter.
