Eurofins Scientific stock (ISIN FR0014000MR3) was trading at EUR 85.72 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026, 0.72 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 86.34.

Growth is improving unevenly

The latest operating update came on October 21, 2026. According to Eurofins, reported revenue reached EUR 5.614 billion in the first nine months of 2026, up 3.7 percent from the same period in 2025. Organic growth reached 3.0 percent, while third-quarter organic growth accelerated to 3.5 percent from 2.5 percent in the first quarter.

The trade-off is visible in the outlook. Eurofins said full-year 2026 organic growth would likely fall below its previous mid-single-digit objective, while its adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to improve from 22.5 percent in fiscal year 2025. The company retained its 24.00 percent adjusted EBITDA margin objective for 2027.

Three milestones and their figures

On October 2, 2026, Eurofins announced the completion of Element's North America Life Sciences Testing Services acquisition for an enterprise value of USD 400 million, while its Electrical and Electronic Testing business was sold for EUR 575 million, according to the company's investor page. On October 21, 2026, the nine-month update reported EUR 5.614 billion in revenue. On October 26, 2026, Jefferies raised its target from EUR 58.00 to EUR 62.00 while retaining an underperform rating.

What does the target change mean?

The revised EUR 62.00 target remains below the Lang & Schwarz quote of EUR 85.72, showing that the rating stance is more cautious than the price action. Eurofins' company-wide growth is also being supported by acquisitions: revenue from 2026 acquisitions is expected to exceed the previous annualized objective of EUR 250 million, according to Business Wire.

Next investor date is November 11

Eurofins lists its North America Investor Day in Toronto for November 11, 2026, according to its investor calendar. The event gives management a scheduled opportunity to explain how acquisitions, laboratory investments and margin expansion fit together.
