BofA lowers target but keeps Buy

According to Investing.com on October 9, 2026, BofA Securities reduced the target to EUR 205.00 from EUR 237.00 and maintained Buy. The bank described medium-term sales growth in the mid to high single digits and expected slight operating-margin increases, while also calling the company outlook broadly flat excluding foreign-exchange effects.

The target revision puts valuation ahead of the next operating test. EssilorLuxottica is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 revenue on October 20, 2026, giving the market a new checkpoint after the first-half growth figures.

Three dated company milestones

On July 28, 2026, first-half revenue reached EUR 14.82 billion, up 5.70 percent from the first half of 2025, while earnings per share rose to EUR 3.40 from EUR 3.04, according to Simply Wall St. On September 29, 2026, EssilorLuxottica launched Nuance Audio Plus, hearing glasses priced from USD 829.00 in the United States, according to PR Newswire. On October 9, 2026, BofA made the target revision the latest of the three milestones.

What comes next for revenue?
