Schneider Electric (FR0000121972) was trading at EUR 300.35 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, up 2.65 percent from the prior close. The move came as investors continued to assess the group's EUR 1.2 billion offer for Shelly Group, reported by Reuters on September 24, 2026.

Shelly bid adds a smart home leg

Schneider Electric plans to offer EUR 70.00 in cash for each Shelly share, with the transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, according to Reuters. The offer represents a 27 percent premium to Shelly's unaffected reference price and would deepen Schneider Electric's position in connected-home energy management.

The deal is small relative to Schneider Electric's market value, but its strategic logic is clearer than its financial scale. Shelly brings software-led smart-home products into a group whose residential buildings business already links electrical hardware, automation and energy control.

Half-year growth supports targets

Schneider Electric reported first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 21.226 billion and net income of EUR 2.488 billion, according to Ideal Investisseur. Revenue growth was 9.8 percent for the period, while the same source cited EUR 1.631 billion in free cash flow.

The comparison matters because the company raised its 2026 objectives after the half-year results, citing demand for electrification, automation and digitalization. The latest reported quarter contributed EUR 11.459 billion in net sales, compared with EUR 10.878 billion in the corresponding consensus estimate listed by MarketScreener.
