Bouygues stock trades at EUR 42.72 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 11:18 a.m. CEST, with minus 0.65 percent versus the Xetra close of EUR 43.00 on September 28, 2026. The group combines lower first-half revenue with stronger operating profit and a sharper improvement at Equans.
Profit rises as sales soften
According to Yahoo Finance on July 30, 2026, Bouygues reported H1 2026 revenue of EUR 26.3 billion, down 2.2 percent year over year. Current operating profit from activities, or COPA, rose EUR 33 million to EUR 829 million, while net income reached EUR 287 million.
The comparison is important: revenue weakened, but COPA increased 4.1 percent and net income climbed EUR 114 million from the prior-year period. Net financial debt stood at EUR 6.5 billion on June 30, 2026, versus EUR 8.5 billion a year earlier.
Equans becomes the earnings lever
Equans supplied the clearest operating improvement in H1 2026. Its COPA reached EUR 460 million, up nearly EUR 100 million year over year, and its margin reached 5.2 percent, an increase of 1.2 percentage points.
The company also reported an Equans order book of EUR 27.6 billion, up EUR 1.7 billion year over year. Management confirmed stable 2026 revenue for Equans and a 5.2 percent annual margin target, while the group retained its goal of stable sales at constant exchange rates and record-high COPA.
JP Morgan lifts its target
According to Ideal Investor on September 16, 2026, JP Morgan raised its Bouygues price target from EUR 73.00 to EUR 75.00 and maintained an Overweight rating. The target revision contrasts with the current euro quotation and places Equans profitability at the center of the investment case.
The next reporting checkpoint is November 5, 2026, when Bouygues plans to present its first nine-month figures, as stated in the H1 earnings call. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether the stronger operating trend is broadening beyond Equans.
