EssilorLuxottica (ISIN FR0000121667) was last at EUR 142.80 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, down 1.24 percent from the previous close. The stock sits 55.9 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 323.80, putting analyst target revisions ahead of the companys next operating update.
RBC lowers target to EUR 190
According to MarketScreener on September 22, 2026, RBC retained its Buy rating but reduced the price target from EUR 230 to EUR 190. The new target lies 33.1 percent above the October 2 price, a smaller premium than the 61.1 percent implied by the former target.
The revision gives the October share price a clear valuation checkpoint. EssilorLuxottica carried a market capitalization of EUR 66.3 billion on October 2, 2026, while volume reached 636,433 shares and the session range was EUR 142.75 to EUR 146.70.
Q2 revenue reaches EUR 14.82 billion
The latest reported quarter supplied a stronger operating comparison. Markets Insider reported that second-quarter 2026 revenue reached EUR 14.82 billion, up from EUR 14.02 billion in the same quarter of 2025, while net profit increased to EUR 1.57 billion from EUR 1.39 billion. That equals revenue growth of 5.7 percent and net profit growth of 12.9 percent.
The figures matter because the next checkpoint is close. EssilorLuxottica states on its investor-relations page that the quiet period begins on October 6, 2026, before the third-quarter revenue release. A financial calendar entry identifies the release for October 19, 2026.
Smart glasses remain a valuation test
EssilorLuxottica combines ophthalmic lenses, frames, sunglasses and optical retail, with brands including Ray-Ban and Oakley. The smart-glasses expansion with Meta remains commercially important, while the sequence of target reductions shows that analysts are testing whether growth can justify the earlier valuation.
