Verallia stock (ISIN FR0013447729) gained 1.28 percent to EUR 16.57 on Euronext Paris on October 5, 2026, at 5:35 p.m. CEST. The move puts the glass-packaging group between a 52-week low of EUR 15.50 and a high of EUR 24.40, while the next major company date is October 27, 2026.

EBITDA target stays at EUR 700 million

Verallia's first-half 2026 revenue came to EUR 1.699 billion, EBITDA reached EUR 285.8 million and EBITDA margin was 20.7 percent, according to Ideal Investor in its September 17, 2026 review of the July 28, 2026 report.

Free cash flow was EUR 102 million in the same half-year period. The company reaffirmed its 2026 adjusted EBITDA target of EUR 700 million and free cash flow guidance of EUR 220 million, with the outlook conditional on the Middle East situation, according to Ideal Investor on September 10, 2026.

Revenue pressure meets margin recovery

The operating picture is mixed in concrete terms. First-half revenue declined 1.4 percent, but EBITDA margin improved from 19.9 percent in the first quarter of 2026 to 21.4 percent in the second quarter, giving investors a measurable sign of sequential recovery.

The same report identified lower activity in Germany and selling-price pressure as risks to revenue. For Verallia, the central test is whether the margin improvement can offset weaker demand and preserve the EUR 700 million adjusted EBITDA objective through the second half.

Analysts see EUR 21.66 target

The consensus is Neutral, based on 9 analysts, with 2 Buy ratings, 7 Hold ratings and 0 Sell ratings. According to Investing.com on September 25, 2026, the average 12-month price target is EUR 21.66, with a high of EUR 25.00 and a low of EUR 19.00.

Using the October 5 price of EUR 16.57, the average target places the stock 23.55 percent below the target. That gap gives the consensus a clear valuation reference, while the Neutral label shows that the analysts do not frame the target range as a one-sided call.
