Bollore stock was last at EUR 3.69 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, down 0.27 percent from the previous close. The company reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 1.644 billion on September 16, while net income fell to EUR 133 million.

Revenue rises as profit declines

According to GlobeNewswire on September 16, 2026, revenue increased 8 percent organically in the first half of 2026, compared with 6 percent on a reported basis. Adjusted operating income, or EBITA, dropped 15 percent to EUR 104 million from EUR 123 million in the first half of 2025.

The earnings mix explains the tension in the figures. Bollore Energy generated EUR 1.467 billion of revenue and adjusted operating income of EUR 47 million, up 77 percent year over year, while Communications produced EUR 181 million of EBITA, down from EUR 203 million.

Cash and portfolio remain central

Net income declined from EUR 242 million in the first half of 2025 to EUR 133 million in the first half of 2026, according to MarketScreener. Net cash stood at EUR 1.447 billion on June 30, 2026, versus EUR 5.619 billion at the end of 2025, after exceptional dividend payments.

The listed-securities portfolio was valued at EUR 9.232 billion on June 30, 2026, but had fallen to EUR 7.943 billion by September 14, 2026, driven by the decline in Universal Music Group shares. That portfolio exposure makes market prices an important counterweight to the operating improvement at Bollore Energy.
