Safran stock (FR0000073272) closed at EUR 330.20 on Euronext Paris on September 11, 2026, up EUR 8.20 or 2.55 percent, after S&P raised the credit rating to A from A- and kept the outlook stable. Berenberg also kept its Buy rating and EUR 400 target on September 14, 2026.

Rating lift meets a firmer chart

As Zonebourse reported on September 14, 2026, the S&P move lifted Safran's credit rating to A and left the outlook stable. The same report showed the shares at EUR 322.40 at 11:43:29 on September 14, 2026, down 2.36 percent on the session, while the later Euronext Paris close quoted in the market snapshot stood at EUR 330.20.

According to finanzen.ch on September 14, 2026, Berenberg analyst George McWhirter kept Safran at Buy with a EUR 400 target, while the update version in the same note showed a current price of EUR 323.00 and an implied target gap of 23.84 percent. That leaves the stock about EUR 69.80 below the target based on the EUR 330.20 close from September 11, 2026.

Half-year figures still matter

Market data in the same week also put Safran near the upper end of its French large-cap trading range, with the stock showing a 9.15 percent year-to-date gain in one market overview on September 14, 2026. A separate stock profile on justetf.com listed Safran's 2025 revenue at EUR 31.189 billion and market capitalization at EUR 143.743 billion, giving investors a recent fundamental and valuation reference point.

On September 14, 2026, Safran's 52-week position and the fresh rating news mattered more than a new company release. For investors, the key question is whether the EUR 400 research target can keep pace with a share price already at EUR 330.20.
