Thales (ISIN FR0000121329) has an analyst catalyst after BofA Securities raised its price target from EUR 303.00 to EUR 312.00, as Ideal Investor reports. The Lang & Schwarz quote was EUR 227.75 on October 5, 2026 at 2:19 p.m. CEST, up 1.58 percent from the EUR 224.20 prior close.
Analyst targets move higher
BofA's new target places the bank's published valuation 3.00 percent above its previous EUR 303.00 target. The move stands against the more cautious analyst adjustments reported for the same stock.
According to Ideal Investor, CIC Market Solutions kept a EUR 305.00 target and buy rating, while Bernstein cut its target from EUR 290.00 to EUR 250.00 on September 29, 2026. That spread gives the market a clear range of expectations, with the EUR 250.00 Bernstein target only EUR 22.25 above the Lang & Schwarz price.
Dividend adds a second signal
Thales' board approved an interim dividend of EUR 1.05 per share for fiscal 2026 at its September 29, 2026 meeting. Ideal Investor reports an ex-dividend date of December 2, 2026 and payment on December 4, 2026.
The same report identifies first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 10.95 billion, up 6.70 percent from the first half of 2025. It also cites adjusted EBIT margin guidance of 12.60 percent to 12.80 percent for fiscal 2026, giving investors two operating measures to compare with the target revisions.
October results date is set
Thales will disclose third-quarter 2026 order intake and sales on October 22, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. CEST, according to the company's events calendar. That release should provide the next quantified test of the fiscal 2026 outlook, after the first-half revenue growth of 6.70 percent.
