Moncler stock (ISIN IT0004965148) was last at EUR 43.70 on Borsa Italiana on October 2, 2026, after a 0.71 percent session gain. The immediate test is October 21, when the group is scheduled to publish its interim management statement for September 30, 2026, according to Moncler Group.

Target cuts meet October results

Teleborsa reported on September 21, 2026, that Barclays cut its Moncler target by 3 percent to EUR 60 and kept its Overweight rating. Barclays also projected third-quarter group sales of EUR 594 million, with Moncler brand sales of EUR 490 million and Stone Island sales of EUR 104 million.

The forecast points to a sharper split between the two brands. Barclays expects Moncler brand sales to fall 2 percent at constant exchange rates, while Stone Island sales are projected to rise 5 percent on the same basis.

Growth remains positive but slower

Moncler's first-half 2026 revenue reached EUR 1.29 billion, up 9 percent at constant exchange rates, while second-quarter growth slowed to 5 percent, according to AInvest on September 13, 2026. EBIT was EUR 245 million, equal to a 19 percent margin, and Stone Island grew 11 percent in the first half.

The market is therefore weighing decelerating quarterly growth against continued brand expansion. MarketScreener reported on September 22, 2026, that RBC cut its target from EUR 59 to EUR 55 while retaining a Sector Perform rating and forecasting third-quarter group sales of EUR 604 million, 4 percent below consensus.

Stock stays below its yearly high

At EUR 43.70 on October 2, 2026, Moncler stock stood 26.43 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 59.40 and EUR 0.93 above its 52-week low of EUR 42.77. The market capitalization was EUR 11.9 billion, with session volume of 709,918 shares.

That valuation gap gives the October sales update particular weight because the third quarter is seasonally smaller than the fourth quarter. Investing.com reported on September 17, 2026, that Bernstein raised its rating from Market-Perform to Outperform while keeping its EUR 57.50 target unchanged.

October sales become the next checkpoint

Moncler stock was last at EUR 43.70 on Borsa Italiana on October 2, 2026, at 5:39 p.m. CEST. The next company update is scheduled for October 21, 2026, putting third-quarter sales, regional demand and Stone Island's relative resilience at the center of the investment debate.
