Market cap and recent performance context
Market capitalization figures from mid-August 2026 place Interparfums, Inc. at $3.63 billion as of the close on August 18, 2026, based on a share price of $113.56. A market-data snapshot lists the stock at $113.56 at 4:00 p.m. ET on August 18, 2026, with a daily gain of 1.59 percent and explicitly cites the $3.63 billion market value.
For the French listing, recent price tables show Interparfums SA changing hands at €24.92 for several consecutive sessions in mid-August 2026 before moving up to a last closing level of €25.20. A trading summary records a series of daily closes at €24.92 up to August 18, 2026, followed by a latest noted closing price of €25.20, highlighting a modest step up that leaves the stock higher by 8.26 percent since the start of 2026.
Interparfums also appears among the stronger performers in French mid-cap benchmarks in recent sessions. A market recap reports that Interparfums SA gained 2.27 percent to close at €25.20 in a recent trading session, outperforming the broader French indices, which declined on the day.
Analyst consensus and valuation backdrop
On the analyst side, the latest published consensus as of August 19, 2026 assigns Interparfums, Inc. a Hold rating, based on coverage over the past twelve months. A consensus overview notes that the average twelve-month price objective from brokerages is $123.29, providing a numerical benchmark for expected performance.
Compared with the August 18, 2026 closing price of $113.46, that $123.29 average target implies a potential upside of roughly $9.83 per share, which translates into an 8.7 percent difference between the current level and the consensus objective. For investors, this suggests that analysts as a group see only a moderate gap between present pricing and their medium-term fair value estimates.
The Hold stance also indicates a balanced view, where analysts neither see the stock as significantly undervalued nor materially overvalued based on their current earnings and cash flow expectations. While individual rating changes and target adjustments undoubtedly occur over time, the aggregate picture as of August 19, 2026 is one of cautious neutrality, supported by the modest spread between market price and consensus target.
Operating scale and historical context
While the freshest interim or annual financial figures for Interparfums SA and Interparfums, Inc. are not detailed in the most recent day-filtered results, the company’s current market capitalization and price performance offer clues to its operating scale. With a market cap of $3.63 billion as of August 18, 2026, Interparfums, Inc. sits in the mid-cap range among global beauty and fragrance companies, a segment that often combines established brands with growth potential.
Historically, Interparfums has reported steady revenue expansion and a portfolio of licensed and proprietary fragrance brands that contribute to diversified income streams. Earlier fiscal years showed growing sales across multiple regions, reflecting the strength of its partnerships with fashion houses and the increasing demand for prestige perfumes in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Even though those earlier figures fall outside the strict freshness window for current metrics, they provide important context for understanding how today’s valuation was built.
In broad terms, investors often compare the company’s valuation metrics, such as price-to-earnings or enterprise-value-to-EBITDA ratios, to those of peers in the global beauty and luxury segments. Given the mid-single digit percentage outperformance versus some national indices in 2026 to date, the current Interparfums stock levels suggest that the market is willing to pay a premium for the company’s brand portfolio and growth prospects while still demanding evidence of sustained margin performance.
Sector positioning and peer comparison
Interparfums operates in a competitive landscape that includes large multinational beauty and personal care groups as well as smaller niche fragrance players. In France, the stock trades alongside heavyweight cosmetics and luxury companies, some of which have reported mid-single digit total returns year to date. A comparative data page shows that one larger peer had a 5.55 percent year-to-date return as of mid-August 2026, while listing Interparfums SA at €24.76 with a market cap of EUR 2.174 billion at that time.
By positioning Interparfums SA’s €24.76 to €25.20 trading range against larger sector players, investors can gauge how the market prices its fragrance-focused business model relative to diversified cosmetics giants. The EUR 2.174 billion market value, seen alongside the $3.63 billion figure for Interparfums, Inc., illustrates the combined heft of its equity footprint across both European and US listings.
Peer comparisons also emphasize the importance of brand strength, distribution reach, and innovation in new fragrance launches. Companies that consistently deliver double-digit revenue growth or margin expansion often command higher valuation multiples, while those with more modest growth trajectories trade at lower ratios. In this context, Interparfums’ placement in the mid-cap bracket suggests room for re-rating if future earnings reports confirm sustained growth, but the current Hold consensus reflects a wait-and-see stance from the analyst community.
Representative product: prestige fragrances portfolio
Interparfums is known for managing and developing a range of prestige fragrance lines under license from fashion houses as well as its own brands. These fragrances typically span men’s and women’s perfumes, eau de toilette, and ancillary products such as body lotions and gift sets, distributed through department stores, specialty retailers, and duty-free channels. The company’s strategy centers on partnering with fashion and lifestyle brands to translate their identities into distinctive scents.
One representative example is a flagship fragrance line that combines a high-profile fashion label’s design ethos with Interparfums’ expertise in fragrance development, marketing, and distribution. By coordinating closely with its brand partners, Interparfums aims to ensure that each new launch aligns with the fashion house’s broader image while also fitting consumer preferences in key markets such as Europe, North America, and Asia. Success in this segment typically depends on careful timing of launches, strong promotional campaigns, and the ability to sustain demand through flankers and limited editions.
Interparfums stock outlook and trading venue context
Interparfums, Inc. trades on Nasdaq under the ticker IPAR in US dollars, while Interparfums SA trades in euros on Euronext Paris under the local ticker often referenced as ITP or IPAR, providing investors in both regions with access to the group’s equity. As of the close on August 18, 2026, the US-listed shares at $113.46 and the Paris-listed shares at €25.20 place the company firmly in the mid-cap category on both sides of the Atlantic.
For investors, the current configuration - a Hold analyst consensus, an 8.7 percent gap between the August 18, 2026 US closing price and the $123.29 average price target, a $3.63 billion market capitalization, and an 8.26 percent year-to-date gain for the French listing as highlighted in recent data - frames Interparfums stock as a steady performer that is already pricing in a meaningful portion of expected growth.

Investor Relations
Fragrance licenses underpin the business
The company’s reliance on long-term licensing agreements with fashion and lifestyle brands means that its revenue base is closely tied to the renewal and expansion of those contracts. Each license typically covers the creation, production, and marketing of fragrance and related products under a partner’s brand name, giving Interparfums a pipeline of new launches and flankers that can support growth over time. At the same time, the company must manage concentration risk by diversifying across multiple brands and regions so that the performance of any single license does not dominate overall results.
In practical terms, this business model allows Interparfums to leverage partners’ brand equity while retaining operational control over product development and distribution. It also means that capital expenditure demands can be moderate compared with fully integrated luxury groups, as the company focuses on fragrance-specific investments rather than a broad portfolio of cosmetics or skincare. Investors often watch new license announcements, launch pipelines, and regional sales performance as leading indicators of future revenue and profit trends.
Trading dynamics and liquidity
Interparfums’ dual listing structure provides liquidity in both euros and US dollars, with the Nasdaq listing catering to US and global investors and the Paris listing serving European investors. The closing prices of $113.46 for IPAR on August 18, 2026 and €25.20 for the Paris shares on the same date capture the latest completed trading sessions on each side. These levels, combined with the $3.63 billion market cap and EUR 2.174 billion valuation references, illustrate a company that is large enough to attract institutional interest while still small enough for earnings surprises to have a noticeable effect on the stock.
For many investors, the key variables going forward will be the next set of quarterly or half-year results, how those figures compare to prior periods and analyst expectations, and whether management updates its guidance. Until those fresh numbers arrive, the current market data and consensus view offer the clearest snapshot of how Interparfums stock is positioned as of mid-August 2026.
Stock snapshot and investor takeaway

With an average analyst price objective of $123.29 and a Hold consensus as of August 19, 2026, the stock currently offers mid-single digit upside from its latest US closing price, a profile that may appeal to investors looking for exposure to global prestige fragrances without extreme volatility.
