UBS raises target for L'Oreal stock from EUR 430.00 to EUR 440.00

L'Oreal stock was trading at EUR 373.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026, up 0.77 percent from the prior close of EUR 370.83. On October 6, 2026, Ideal Investor reported that UBS raised its target for L'Oreal from EUR 430.00 to EUR 440.00 while maintaining its buy rating.
UBS lifts the valuation bar
The new target lies 17.74 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price. That calculation uses the EUR 440.00 target and the EUR 373.68 reference price, keeping the analyst view and the German trading quote on the same currency basis.
The target revision gives the latest market signal a clear reference point: UBS is placing greater value on L'Oreal's earnings potential than its previous EUR 430.00 estimate implied. For investors, the key issue is whether sales growth can continue to support the premium valuation.
First-half sales reached EUR 23.77 billion
In the first half of 2026, L'Oreal reported sales of EUR 23.77 billion, up 6.8 percent on a like-for-like basis, according to Quartr on September 8, 2026. Net profit increased 4.8 percent to EUR 3.96 billion, while operating margin reached 21.3 percent.
The operating picture matters because the margin improvement accompanied additional brand investment. Quartr also reported e-commerce growth of 18 percent in the first half of 2026, with digital sales representing 31 percent of group sales.
October sales update is next
L'Oreal Finance lists the company's sales update for the nine months through September 2026 on October 22, 2026, after the market closes. The release should offer the next quantified test of the growth profile behind the UBS target and show whether the second-half trajectory is matching the first-half 6.8 percent like-for-like increase.
