EssilorLuxottica (ISIN FR0000121667) was trading at EUR 144.25 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 11:21 a.m. CEST, down 0.98 percent versus the prior close of EUR 145.68. The eyewear group has added a fresh product launch to its growth story with Nuance Audio Plus, a new generation of hearing glasses announced on September 29, 2026.

Hearing glasses expand the portfolio

According to PR Newswire on September 29, 2026, Nuance Audio Plus received FDA clearance for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and launched in the United States at a recommended retail price starting at USD 829. The product adds improved audio performance, extended battery life, hands-free calls and more frame styles to EssilorLuxottica's hearing-glasses range.

The commercial reach is already measurable. The company said the first Nuance Audio glasses had expanded to 14 countries and more than 18,000 stores within one year, while two out of three users had never explored traditional hearing aids, according to the same September 29 release from PR Newswire.

Growth remains stronger than the share price

For the first half of 2026, EssilorLuxottica reported revenue of EUR 7.692 billion, up 7.20 percent, while adjusted operating margin stood at 15.50 percent and free cash flow reached EUR 1.07 billion, up EUR 100.00 million from the prior-year period, as reported by Ideal Investisseur on September 22, 2026. The contrast between operating progress and the current share price makes the October revenue update the next important test for the growth narrative.

The analyst debate has become more cautious. finanzen.ch reported on September 22, 2026 that RBC Capital Markets cut its price target from EUR 230.00 to EUR 190.00 while retaining an Outperform rating. RBC cited a more moderate contribution from smart glasses to total growth, while describing the core business as healthy.
