Verallia stock (ISIN FR0013447729) was last at EUR 16.36 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026 at 5:35 p.m. CEST, after a daily gain of 0.06 percent. The next scheduled checkpoint is the company report for the third quarter on October 27, 2026, according to Verallia.

Results date sets the next test

The October report follows first-half revenue of EUR 1.699 billion, down 1.4 percent from the first half of 2025. Ideal Investor reported that first-half adjusted EBITDA reached EUR 285.8 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.7 percent.

The margin trend gives the October date a sharper operational angle: adjusted EBITDA margin rose from 19.9 percent in the first quarter to 21.4 percent in the second quarter of 2026. First-half net income was EUR 25.3 million, while management reaffirmed a 2026 adjusted EBITDA objective of EUR 700 million, according to Ideal Investor.

Consensus remains Neutral

The analyst picture is measured rather than uniformly bullish. Investing.com lists a Neutral consensus from 9 analysts, including 2 Buy ratings, 7 Holds and 0 Sells.

The same consensus gives Verallia a 12-month average price target of EUR 21.66, with estimates ranging from EUR 19 to EUR 25. That target range places the October 2 quote near the lower end of the published analyst valuation corridor, while the stock itself remains inside its EUR 15.50 to EUR 24.40 52-week range.

Partnership adds a strategic angle

Verallia is also developing lighter glass packaging with Moet Hennessy. The partnership announced on September 22, 2026 targets a 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in bottle weight through new glass technologies, according to AFP. The project links Verallia's industrial optimization effort with customer demand for lower-carbon packaging, but its financial contribution is a longer-term consideration than the October results.

Stock stays in a wide range

Verallia was last at EUR 16.36 on October 2, 2026 on Euronext Paris, with a market capitalization of EUR 2.0 billion and volume of 42,582 shares. The next results and the margin trajectory will determine whether the improved second-quarter profitability carries into the second half.
