Interparfums stock slips after a $85 target cut

Interparfums stock (FR0004024222) opened at $111.78 on August 18, 2026, after a fresh price-target cut and with market value shown at $3.58 billion. The latest reported quarter brought $0.95 in EPS on $341.04 million in revenue, and the company reaffirmed $4.85 in fiscal 2026 EPS guidance.
Target reset
The clearest new catalyst is the BWS Financial note that kept a Neutral stance but lowered its price target to $85 from $90 on August 17, 2026. That sits well below the stock's recent trading level and gives the market a concrete valuation anchor.
Interparfums also enters the session with a one-year range of $77.21 to $129.29 and a 50-day moving average of $114.81, both of which frame the current pullback. The stock's market capitalization of $3.55 billion on August 17, 2026, shows that the company remains a mid-cap name with a full retail and institutional following.
Quarterly base
The August 4, 2026 quarter is the other key reference point. Revenue of $341.04 million rose 2.1 percent year over year, and EPS of $0.95 matched consensus, which keeps the earnings discussion centered on execution rather than a major miss or beat.
That mix matters because the current-year guide of $4.85 per share implies investors are still measuring the stock against a relatively steady profit outlook. The margin picture also stays useful: the same quarter showed an 11.17 percent net margin and a 15.21 percent return on equity.
Peer read-through
For a fragrance group, the latest quarter suggests a business that is still growing, but not at a pace that would justify a premium multiple without stronger sales acceleration. With the shares changing hands close to $111 and the new target at $85, the gap between market price and broker view is now part of the story.
Why the brand mix matters
Interparfums' portfolio spans licensed and proprietary scents across premium fragrance and cosmetic lines, so the next move in sales quality will matter as much as headline revenue. The second-quarter figure of $341.04 million is the base investors will compare against when the next update arrives.
Interparfums and Jimmy Choo
The company's fragrance business includes brands such as Jimmy Choo, which remains a useful example of how licensing relationships feed the revenue stream. That brand-level mix helps explain why operating momentum can stay tied to both sell-through and the cadence of new launches.
Stock level
Interparfums stock traded at $111.78 on August 18, 2026, with a market capitalization of $3.58 billion and a 52-week range of $77.21 to $129.29. The latest session leaves the shares below the 50-day average of $114.81 and still well above the $85 target now on the table.
