EssilorLuxottica (ISIN FR0000121667) was trading at EUR 152.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026 at 9:44 a.m. CEST. The latest analyst event came from UBS, which maintained a Buy rating and set a EUR 247.00 price target on October 15, 2026, according to Markets Insider.
Revenue update arrives October 20
The next company event is EssilorLuxottica's third-quarter 2026 revenue announcement on October 20, 2026, listed on the company's investor calendar. The calendar also places the group in a quiet period from October 6 ahead of that release, according to EssilorLuxottica.
The chronology points to three recent milestones: on September 24, EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms presented a new generation of smart glasses; on October 6, the quiet period began; and on October 15, UBS maintained Buy with a EUR 247.00 target. The smart-glasses launch and first-half operating context were reported by Ideal Investisseur.
What does the target mean?
UBS's EUR 247.00 target stands 62.23 percent above the EUR 152.25 Lang & Schwarz price, a gap that makes the upcoming revenue update the central near-term test. The comparison is especially important because the latest reported figures combine growth with currency pressure.
For the first half of 2026, revenue reached EUR 14.82 billion and net profit EUR 1.57 billion, compared with EUR 14.02 billion and EUR 1.39 billion in the year-earlier period, respectively, according to Markets Insider. The company also reported adjusted operating profit up 15 percent at constant exchange rates in the first half, while its reported margin was 18.6 percent versus 18.9 percent at constant exchange rates, according to Ideal Investisseur.
Dates and market perspective
The next substantiated date is October 20, 2026, for the third-quarter revenue release. The stock's Euronext Paris listing is part of the CAC 40, while the latest market snapshot places its 52-week range at EUR 138.30 to EUR 323.80 and its market capitalization at EUR 69.5 billion.
Target meets operating test
The UBS target gives the market a clear valuation reference, but the October 20 revenue figure will determine whether the group's eyewear and eyecare growth is translating into sustained earnings momentum. Currency effects remain a measurable counter-factor in the reported margin.
