Safran stock holds steady after July 28 H1 2026 update
Published on 08/22/2026 at 09:54 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Safran (FR0000073272) stock traded at EUR 343.60 on August 21, 2026, while the share price was up 15.47% for 2026 and down 4.85% over five days, according to market data from the Safran market-data page and the Safran quote page.
The most recent company update in the search results was published on July 28, 2026, and the same-day press-release list shows Safran reported its first-half 2026 results on that date, with later notes from August 17 and August 18 pointing to Buy ratings from Goldman Sachs and Berenberg.
H1 2026 sets the tone
The July 28, 2026 results communication is the key recent catalyst in the result set, because it anchors the current reporting period and sits inside the freshness window for half-year figures. The same page also shows a one-month move of 4.98% and a three-month move of 20.56%, which helps explain why the stock still trades above its August 20, 2026 level in the source set.
Analyst expectations remain constructive: the Boursorama consensus page on August 18, 2026 showed a 3-month target of EUR 380.65 and an implied upside of 10.78%, while estimated net profit per share stands at EUR 10.34 for 2026 and EUR 13.15 for 2027. Those numbers matter because they frame Safran as a company where execution and margin conversion still dominate the valuation debate.
Orders and outlook
Safran's official announcements page also lists recent operational items dated July 20, July 23 and July 30, 2026, including the IndiGo and CFM memorandum on 1,000+ LEAP-1A engines, a 10-year support agreement with Lufthansa Technik, and EASA certification for the Arriel 2K engine. Together with the July 28 results, they show a business that is still being driven by engines, services and long-cycle aerospace contracts.
The same source set adds a useful historical comparison: the stock was at EUR 361.10 on August 17, 2026 and EUR 343.60 on August 21, 2026, so the latest quote is still below the recent five-day high while the year-to-date gain remains positive at 15.47%. That mix of softer short-term trading and firm longer-term performance keeps the focus on whether H1 2026 momentum can carry into the next update.
LEAP engine demand
Safran's LEAP engine family remains the clearest representative product line in the current source set, with the July 20, 2026 announcement about 1,000+ LEAP-1A engines underscoring how central aftermarket and narrow-body demand remain to the group's profile. The same product family also appeared in the July 20 BOC Aviation order for up to 300 LEAP engines, giving investors a concrete link between commercial demand and future service revenue.
Shares near recent levels
Safran shares were last quoted at EUR 343.60 on August 21, 2026, after a five-day move of -4.85% and a year-to-date gain of 15.47%. The latest market tone is softer than the 3-month consensus target of EUR 380.65, but the stock still sits well above its 2026 low of EUR 262.60 shown in the historical range on the quote page.
