Pernod Ricard stock (FR0000130577) closed at EUR 63.14 on September 2, 2026, after falling 0.96 percent, while the stock traded at EUR 62.74 in real time on September 3, 2026. Zonebourse reported the latest note under the headline 'Pernod Ricard : la reprise se fait attendre'.

Recovery stays delayed

The same coverage points to weak alcohol demand and continued pressure in Canada, while MarketScreener lists the stock at EUR 62.74 in Euronext Paris trading on September 3, 2026, with a 5-day change of -0.63 percent and a year-to-date move of -14.20 percent. That makes the stock reaction easy to read: investors are still pricing a slower rebound.

On August 27, 2026, MarketScreener also flagged FY26 organic net sales of -3.9 percent and noted that the mid-term growth target was trimmed to the lower end. The same news flow carried a 2026 earnings report and a final dividend proposal for fiscal 2026.

Consensus remains cautious

Zonebourse shows a closing price of EUR 63.14 and a medium target price of EUR 81.71, implying a gap of 29.41 percent. The analyst tone around Pernod Ricard therefore stays constructive on paper, but the market has not followed that view in the short term.

MarketScreener's news list also showed a recent Deutsche Bank hold call with a reduced target and a Mediobanca neutral view on August 31, 2026. The message is consistent: price support exists, yet the operating trend still matters more.

The latest reporting period and the current analyst tone both point to a slower recovery path, so the next numbers matter more than the stock commentary.

Pernod Ricard coverage

Chivas and Absolut matter

Pernod Ricard remains a brands-led group, and MarketScreener's company profile names Absolut, Jameson, Ballantine's, Chivas Regal, Ricard and Malibu among the strategic labels. The profile also says the group had 94 production sites worldwide at the end of June 2025, which underlines how broad the portfolio is even in a tougher trading backdrop.

Price and scale

The stock last closed at EUR 63.14 on September 2, 2026, after a 0.96 percent daily rise from the previous close, while real-time trading on September 3, 2026 showed EUR 62.74. MarketScreener's profile classifies Pernod Ricard as a distillers and wineries name and lists 17,232 employees, which gives a sense of the scale behind the slower sales trend.
