Pernod Ricard stock (ISIN FR0000130577) closed at EUR 59.64 on Euronext Paris on September 21, 2026, up 0.34 percent on the session and only 1.78 percent above its 52-week low of EUR 58.60. The price remains 33.12 percent below the 52-week high of EUR 90.54, giving the latest market data a cautious tone.

Profit falls in first half

Europa Press reported on September 23, 2026, that Pernod Ricard's profit in the first half of its fiscal year fell 6 percent to EUR 984 million. The figure gives the market a concrete measure of the earnings pressure behind the subdued share price.

Europa Press also reported on September 23, 2026, that first-quarter fiscal sales fell 9 percent to EUR 2.013 billion. The comparison with the prior period is material because it shows pressure on both revenue and profit rather than a single isolated earnings item.

Stock remains close to the floor

The September 21 trading range was EUR 59.02 to EUR 59.80, with volume of 560,228 shares on Euronext Paris. The closing price was EUR 0.48 below the EUR 60.12 close recorded on September 17, 2026, while the market capitalization stood at EUR 15.05 billion on September 21, 2026.

For investors, the numerical distance between the latest close and the yearly range is more important than the modest daily gain: EUR 59.64 was EUR 1.04 above the low but EUR 30.90 below the high. That spread places the share much nearer the lower end of its recent range than the upper end.
