Verallia stock closed at EUR 18.72 on Euronext Paris on September 10, 2026, marking a 1.27 percent daily decline within its recent range. The shares face additional pressure as Euronext’s latest review confirms Verallia will leave the SBF 120 index after September 16, 2026.

Verallia stock (ISIN FR0013506730) ended the Euronext Paris session on September 10, 2026 at EUR 18.72, down 1.27 percent from the prior close and extending a five-day slide within its 52-week trading range. The glass packaging group is also under structural pressure after Euronext confirmed in its latest quarterly index review that Verallia will be removed from the SBF 120 benchmark following the close on September 16, 2026, a change that can influence index-linked and institutional flows.

Index removal adds headwind for the shares

According to Zonebourse on September 10, 2026, Euronext’s latest quarterly review of the SBF 120 index will see biotechs Genfit and Inventiva added, while Interparfums and Verallia are set to exit, with the changes becoming effective after the close on September 16, 2026.

The same reshuffle was detailed in a broader CAC family announcement by Euronext on September 10, 2026, which confirmed that Verallia is being removed from both the SBF 120 and CAC Mid 60 indices as part of the September 2026 annual review of the CAC family benchmarks.

Index exits typically lead to mechanical selling by funds that track these indices, and for Verallia the move means that passive investors replicating the SBF 120 and related French mid-cap indices will have to adjust their holdings after September 16, 2026, potentially adding near-term pressure on the stock price around the effective date.

Share price, recent range and earnings expectations

Per detailed trading data on September 10, 2026 from Boursorama, Verallia shares opened that day at EUR 18.92 on Euronext Paris, traded between an intraday high of EUR 18.97 and a low of EUR 18.56, and closed at EUR 18.72, with a reported volume of 23,375 shares, marking a 1.27 percent decline versus the previous close and a five-day performance of minus 2.95 percent over the period from September 4 to September 10, 2026.

The same Boursorama overview shows that Verallia closed at EUR 19.29 on September 4, 2026 and EUR 18.96 on September 9, 2026, illustrating that the stock has lost EUR 0.57 per share over this five-day span, a decline of 2.95 percent that keeps the shares in the mid-zone of their recent range rather than at an extreme high or low.

Beyond the immediate index factor, Boursorama’s consensus section as of September 10, 2026 indicates that analysts expect Verallia to generate a dividend per share of EUR 1.00 for fiscal year 2025, rising to EUR 1.03 for estimated 2026 and EUR 1.05 for estimated 2027, with corresponding implied dividend yields of 5.46 percent, 5.60 percent and 5.74 percent based on the prevailing share price levels.

The same overview also shows a net earnings per share figure of EUR 1.14 for 2025, with estimates of EUR 1.17 for 2026 and EUR 1.72 for 2027, suggesting that the analyst community expects mid-single-digit EPS growth from 2025 to 2026 and a sharper step-up in 2027 as Verallia works through cost pressures and seeks to optimize its industrial footprint.

For investors, the combination of a high single-digit dividend yield and expected earnings progression offers a supportive income and growth profile, but the near-term outlook is complicated by the upcoming index exit, which may temporarily overshadow fundamentals even if the company’s operating performance remains broadly in line with market expectations.

Positioning after the CAC family reshuffle

As Reuters via TradingView reported on September 10, 2026, the SBF 120 reshuffle reflects Euronext’s regular assessment of liquidity and free-float market capitalization across French equities, with Genfit and Inventiva entering the index while Interparfums and Verallia leave, underlining that the changes are driven by relative size and trading criteria rather than a specific fundamental event at Verallia.

The broader CAC family review summarized by Euronext also confirms that there are no changes to the flagship CAC 40, while mid- and small-cap indices undergo more significant rotations, a context that helps explain why mid-cap names like Verallia can see their index status change even when their underlying business continues on a relatively stable trajectory.

Against this backdrop, investors in Verallia need to weigh the mechanical selling risk around the September 16, 2026 effective date against the company’s capacity to deliver on analysts’ projected EPS and dividend growth for 2026 and 2027, as highlighted in the Boursorama consensus data, and consider whether the index exit might open an opportunity for fundamentally oriented buyers once passive flows have adjusted.

Verallia stock price level and valuation

At the September 10, 2026 close of EUR 18.72 on Euronext Paris, Verallia’s share price reflects the recent downward pressure associated with the announced index changes but still supports an implied dividend yield above 5 percent for fiscal year 2025 based on the EUR 1.00 per share payout indicated in analyst estimates, an income level that remains attractive for yield-focused investors even as they monitor the impact of the SBF 120 and CAC Mid 60 exits on trading liquidity and valuation.
