Legrand stock (ISIN FR0010307819) traded at EUR 95.32 on Euronext Paris as of September 18, 2026, giving the French electrical equipment group a market capitalization of EUR 25.7 billion at that close. According to Ad-hoc-news, the shares ended September 18, 2026, below the 100-euro mark, while full-year 2026 figures provide a key fundamental anchor for investors.

Full-year 2026 figures underpin Legrand stock

According to Ad-hoc-news, Legrand reported fiscal year 2026 revenue of EUR 8.2 billion, an increase of 7.4 percent compared with the prior year, confirming that top-line growth remained solid in the latest full reporting period. The same source states that Legrand achieved an adjusted operating margin of 20.1 percent for fiscal year 2026, illustrating that profitability stayed firmly in the low-20-percent range even as revenue expanded. For investors, the combination of mid-single-to-high-single-digit revenue growth and an operating margin above 20 percent sets a clear benchmark for how much earnings power is embedded in Legrand at the current share price.

On a historical basis, the 7.4 percent revenue increase to EUR 8.2 billion in fiscal year 2026 implies that Legrand added roughly EUR 565 million of additional annual sales compared with the previous year, assuming prior-year revenue of about EUR 7.6 billion as indicated in the same context. This quantified comparison helps frame the fundamental progress: the company is not only maintaining but also expanding its revenue base while keeping its adjusted operating margin at 20.1 percent, a level that many peers in the electrical equipment segment struggle to reach. For valuation, this margin level is particularly relevant because it suggests that Legrand can convert a significant portion of incremental sales into operating profit without sacrificing efficiency.

Stock level, CAC 40 context and valuation angle

According to Ad-hoc-news, Legrand stock closed at EUR 95.32 on September 18, 2026, with trading volume of 1.8 million shares and a market capitalization of EUR 25.7 billion at that date. The same overview describes the shares as trading with support from the CAC 40 environment and existing analyst targets, suggesting that the market currently views Legrand as a stable component of the French blue-chip index rather than a high-volatility outlier. For investors, the fact that the stock remains below the psychological 100-euro level while the company delivers revenue growth of 7.4 percent and an adjusted operating margin of 20.1 percent in fiscal year 2026 offers a concrete reference point for assessing whether the valuation adequately reflects these fundamentals.

At a closing price of EUR 95.32 on September 18, 2026, and a market capitalization of EUR 25.7 billion, Legrand trades at roughly 3.1 times its fiscal year 2026 revenue of EUR 8.2 billion, based on the figures reported by Ad-hoc-news. This simple revenue multiple, when viewed alongside the 20.1 percent adjusted operating margin, indicates that the market is willing to pay a premium for Legrand’s profitability and cash-generation potential but not an extreme one relative to some higher-growth industrial names. The shares’ position below EUR 100, yet supported by index inclusion and fundamental performance, may therefore be interpreted as a sign that investors expect the company to sustain its margin and growth profile but are cautious about paying substantially higher multiples without further catalysts such as new guidance or acquisitions.

While the exact 52-week range is not detailed in the same source, the description that the shares remain below the 100-euro level yet supported by the index context indicates that the current price is closer to the upper half of the range rather than near a low, consistent with sustained investor confidence in the company’s earnings profile.
