Upgrade and target hike

According to MarketScreener on September 15, 2026, Moody's lifted Renault to Baa3 and changed the outlook to stable. The same report says Morgan Stanley raised its price target to EUR 31 from EUR 25 and moved the rating from Underweight to Equal Weight.

First-half numbers

The same report cites a Group operating margin target of around 5.5 percent and notes that electrified vehicles accounted for 52.0 percent of European sales, up 8.2 points.

According to OICA on September 15, 2026, Renault said first-half revenue rose 9.4 percent and that the group returned to a EUR 700 million first-half profit. Those figures frame the rating news as a balance-sheet and earnings story, not just a chart move.
