Coface (ISIN FR0000064784) traded at EUR 15.93 in Paris on August 24, 2026, with a 0.38% gain and a 52-week range of EUR 14.02 to EUR 16.99. The shares sit close to the top of that band as trade-credit demand stays linked to corporate default risk.
Credit risk stays visible
Business bankruptcy filings in the United States increased 16.9% to 26,941 in the 12 months ended June 30, 2026, from 23,043 a year earlier, according to current coverage. That comparison matters for Coface because its insurance model benefits when credit stress becomes more expensive for lenders and suppliers.

The stock moved within a day range of EUR 15.85 to EUR 15.99 on August 24, 2026. Against that backdrop, the current quote leaves Coface below the 52-week high of EUR 16.99 but well above the low of EUR 14.02.
Trade credit in practice
