Bic (FR0000120966) stock was trading at EUR 65.15 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 5:03 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the EUR 65.15 prior close. UBS raised its target for Bic from EUR 56.00 to EUR 70.00 while maintaining Market Perform, according to Ideal Investor on September 16, 2026. The move puts execution of Bic's 2030 plan ahead of the next scheduled sales update.

UBS lifts the valuation marker

The UBS target increase of EUR 14.00 represents a 25.00 percent rise from EUR 56.00 to EUR 70.00. At the Lang & Schwarz price, the new target stands EUR 4.85 above the share price, a 7.44 percent difference based on the same euro currency.

The rating remains Market Perform, which makes the higher target a measured reassessment rather than a new bullish recommendation. Bic stock is also 6.26 percent below its EUR 69.50 52-week high and 40.91 percent above its EUR 46.20 52-week low as of October 5, 2026.

2030 plan sets hard numbers

Bic's strategic update targets an adjusted EBIT margin above 15.50 percent by 2030 and free cash flow above EUR 250 million in 2030. The company also plans cumulative free cash flow of EUR 900 million to EUR 950 million from 2027 through 2030, according to Nasdaq in the September 7, 2026 company release.

The plan requires targeted operating expenses of EUR 100 million from 2027 through 2030 and aims for EUR 80 million in annual recurring savings by 2030. That cost bridge is the central test for a business whose first-half 2026 recovery included 1.70 percent organic sales growth, adjusted earnings per share of EUR 2.81 and free cash flow of EUR 64 million, according to AInvest.

Next sales date is October 28

Bic is scheduled to publish third-quarter 2026 net sales on October 28, 2026, according to Nasdaq. That release will provide the next operating check on the strategy after the first-half figures and before the 2030 targets can influence longer-term valuation.

Bic stock holds below its yearly high

Bic stock was trading at EUR 65.15 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 5:03 p.m. CEST, unchanged from the EUR 65.15 prior close. Its EUR 2.6 billion market capitalization and position below the EUR 69.50 yearly high leave the October sales release as the next dated performance marker.
