Coface SA (FR0000064784) is tied to a fresh September 1, 2026, macro call on Rhine and Danube disruption, while its latest reported full-year revenue stood at EUR 1,898.0 million and net income at EUR 222.0 million. The shares were quoted at EUR 16.51, with a market value of EUR 2.47 billion and a day range of EUR 16.23 to EUR 16.55.
River risk meets credit insurance
The company said on September 1, 2026, that historically low water levels are disrupting freight transport, affecting energy infrastructure and adding pressure to several European industrial sectors. That is a direct Coface angle because the group sells trade credit insurance and risk services across exposed industrial supply chains.
For the latest reported year, revenue fell 1.27 percent from the prior year to EUR 1,898.0 million, operating profit declined 18.75 percent to EUR 332.5 million, and net income dropped 14.96 percent to EUR 222.0 million. Coface also reported 5,511 employees at year-end, up 5.25 percent from the prior year.
Market view today
The stock was last shown at EUR 16.51, up EUR 0.19 or 1.16 percent, with a 52-week range of EUR 14.08 to EUR 17.37. The market capitalization was EUR 2.47 billion, and the valuation snapshot pointed to a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.56.
That places the shares below the 52-week high by EUR 0.86 and above the 52-week low by EUR 2.43, a range that keeps the name close to its upper band without a breakout move.
Balance sheet context
Historically, Coface ended the last reported year with total assets of EUR 8,090.0 million, equity of EUR 2,215.3 million and total debt of EUR 2,337.2 million. The same report showed a dividend of EUR 1.25 per share and a dividend yield of 7.96 percent.
For investors, the key number is not just the river warning but the combination of EUR 1.9 billion in revenue, EUR 222.0 million in net income and a EUR 2.47 billion equity valuation. The business still looks built around underwriting discipline, but the latest macro note shows how quickly transport stress can reach industrial credit risk.
What Coface sells
Coface's core business is trade credit insurance, where it helps companies manage non-payment risk across customers, suppliers and export markets. The group also offers business information and debt collection services through its wider risk platform.
