Loreal stock (ISIN FR0000120321) was trading at EUR 398.28 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 10:14 a.m. CEST. The latest analyst action came from Boersen Zeitung, which reported on October 6, 2026 that UBS raised its target from EUR 430.00 to EUR 440.00 and kept a Buy rating.

Why the October sales update matters

The higher target arrives before L'Oreal's next sales update, scheduled for October 22, 2026 after the market close. The company confirmed that date on its investor-relations page, which also lists its half-year 2026 results dated July 29, 2026.

For the first half of 2026, revenue was EUR 23.77 billion, up 5.8 percent from EUR 22.47 billion in the first half of 2025. Net income reached EUR 3.55 billion, compared with EUR 3.37 billion a year earlier, according to Simply Wall St.

Three dated steps for Loreal

L'Oreal signed a 50-year exclusive worldwide Gucci beauty license with Kering on July 7, 2026, according to its investor-relations page. On July 29, 2026, the group reported first-half revenue of EUR 23.77 billion. On October 6, 2026, UBS raised its target to EUR 440.00 from EUR 430.00, as reported by Boersen Zeitung.

What will October 22 test?

UBS expects adjusted like-for-like sales growth of 5.9 percent for the third quarter, against a Vara consensus of 5.38 percent and 6.3 percent in the prior quarter. Finimize reported that tougher comparisons make the October release an important test of the group's growth rate.

Next dates for the stock

The next company sales update is scheduled for October 22, 2026. A Paris capital markets day is scheduled for November 30 to December 1, 2026, according to Finimize.

Stock price and investor view

The central question is whether the October sales figure can support the stronger analyst target while L'Oreal faces a tougher comparison base. The first-half figures provide a quantified benchmark for the coming update.
