Dassault Aviation (FR0000121725) stock was quoted at EUR 291.80 on Euronext Paris as of August 26, 2026, giving investors a clear reference point for the company’s valuation in the current European defense and business-jet cycle.
Recent capital information published on August 26, 2026 shows that Dassault Aviation had 77,712,746 shares outstanding as of July 31, 2026, providing an updated basis for market capitalization calculations at that price level.
For investors, this combination of a high three-digit share price in EUR terms and a defined share count highlights how the market is currently pricing the group’s exposure to combat aircraft, business jets and support services.
Market levels and valuation context
According to a detailed price overview published on August 26, 2026, Dassault Aviation stock changed hands at EUR 291.80 on Euronext Paris in that session, with the quote snapshot underscoring that the shares closed marginally lower after a 0.41 percent decline that day.
Based on the disclosed 77,712,746 shares outstanding as of July 31, 2026 combined with the August 26, 2026 price of EUR 291.80, Dassault Aviation’s equity value sits in the tens of billions of euros, reflecting the market’s assessment of its backlog in combat aircraft and business jets as well as its service revenues.
Compared with earlier phases in the European aerospace cycle when the shares traded in the low EUR 100s, the current price band above EUR 250 underscores how much investors have re-rated the company as defense budgets and demand for long-range business jets have recovered in recent years.
Capital structure signals from July 2026
The latest share-capital disclosure dated July 31, 2026 specifies that Dassault Aviation had 77,712,746 shares outstanding at that time, providing an updated reference point for ownership structure and potential earnings-per-share calculations.
This July 31, 2026 figure can be compared with historical share counts in earlier years, when the company operated with a slightly lower number of shares, suggesting modest capital structure adjustments that can influence per-share metrics over time.
With the share count firmly disclosed for July 31, 2026 and the price snapshot drawn from August 26, 2026 trading, investors can more precisely benchmark metrics like market capitalization or implied price-to-earnings ratios once the most recent half-year or full-year earnings are taken into account.
Industry backdrop and defense demand
Industry commentary published on August 26, 2026 notes that Dassault Aviation is regarded as a key supplier of modern fighter aircraft and business jets at a time when European authorities are re-evaluating their defense posture and airpower capabilities.
As highlighted in recent security-related reporting dated August 26, 2026, French officials have stressed that the domestic defense industry is ready to respond to renewed rearmament efforts, a context in which Dassault Aviation’s combat aircraft portfolio naturally plays a central role.
In this environment, the current share price level in the high-EUR 200s as of August 26, 2026 can be interpreted as reflecting not only existing orders but also expectations that future contracts in fighter aircraft and support services may underpin revenues over the coming years.
Falcon business jets as a key product pillar
Beyond combat aircraft, Dassault Aviation’s Falcon business jet family remains one of the company’s most visible product lines, serving corporate, government and high-net-worth customers that require long-range and high-performance aircraft.
Sector analysis released on August 26, 2026 discussing large-cabin business-jet options points out that Dassault’s strategy in this segment has involved updating cabin designs and avionics to stay competitive against other manufacturers while managing the transition from older platforms to newer-generation jets.
In practice, the Falcon portfolio’s ability to address demand for efficient long-range travel can help smooth revenue streams relative to the more cyclical and politically sensitive combat-aircraft business, a factor many investors consider when assessing the sustainability of Dassault Aviation’s earnings profile.
Stock level snapshot and investor takeaway
As of August 26, 2026, Dassault Aviation stock at EUR 291.80 on Euronext Paris sat well above historical levels seen several years ago, signaling that the market currently assigns a premium valuation to the company’s mix of defense and business-jet exposure.
With a clearly disclosed share count of 77,712,746 as of July 31, 2026 and price data from the August 26, 2026 trading session, investors now have up-to-date inputs to gauge how potential future earnings, defense contracts and business-jet deliveries could translate into per-share value.
For now, the stability of the stock in the high-EUR 200s combined with the latest capital data suggests that Dassault Aviation’s shares are tightly aligned with the broader narrative of rising European defense spending and resilient demand for high-end business aviation.
