Safran stock is paired with a higher analyst target after Bernstein raised its price target from EUR 410.00 to EUR 420.00 on September 22, 2026, while keeping an Outperform rating, according to Ideal Investisseur. On October 6, 2026, the stock was trading at EUR 334.80 at Lang & Schwarz, plus 1.53 percent versus the EUR 329.75 prior close.

Analyst target reaches EUR 420.00

The target move gives Safran a fresh valuation reference while the share price remains below the EUR 420.00 analyst level. The same September 22 report also linked the update to Safran's investment in propulsion specialist Akira, adding a strategic element to the analyst view.

Safran has also been executing a share buyback. According to WebDisclosure, the company announced on September 18, 2026 a tranche worth up to EUR 375.00 million, running from September 21, 2026 to November 27, 2026. The transaction is part of a EUR 5.0 billion buyback plan for 2025 through 2028, with EUR 2.275 billion already executed at the announcement date.

First-half revenue rises 19.00 percent

Safran's operating figures provide the stronger fundamental anchor. In its first-half 2026 earnings call, Yahoo Finance reported revenue of EUR 17.6 billion, up 19.00 percent on a reported basis. Recurring operating income rose 29.00 percent to EUR 3.2 billion, and free cash flow increased 43.00 percent to EUR 2.6 billion.

The mix matters for valuation. Propulsion delivered a 24.50 percent operating margin in the first half of 2026, above the annual guidance range of 22.00 percent to 24.00 percent, while LEAP engine deliveries reached 1,030 units, up 41.00 percent year over year, according to the same Yahoo Finance transcript. Management raised its 2026 outlook, calling for revenue growth in the mid-teens and recurring operating income above EUR 6.4 billion.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Safran's market capitalization stood at EUR 138.0 billion on October 5, 2026. The Euronext Paris quote showed a 52-week range of EUR 262.60 to EUR 366.50, placing the Lang & Schwarz price EUR 31.70 below the yearly high, or 8.65 percent.
