Three milestones shape Valeo

On July 22, 2026, Valeo reported first-half sales of EUR 10.40 billion, up 0.70 percent like-for-like, with a 5.00 percent operating margin, according to Yahoo Finance. On September 15, 2026, Valeo opened an employee share offering for 81,000 eligible employees in 21 countries at a subscription price of EUR 11.46, according to Valeo. On October 7, 2026, the company set out its data-center cooling validation work with OVH Cloud at the upcoming OCP Global Summit, according to Valeo.

What do the cooling metrics mean?

The figures give Valeo a measurable technology case beyond automotive supply, but they do not yet represent reported data-center revenue. The company says fan electricity consumption falls 25.00 percent versus copper systems, while accelerated testing has reached the equivalent of more than 10 years of operating life and is being extended toward 15 years, according to Valeo.

Valeo's next sales update is scheduled for October 22, 2026, according to its investor calendar and the company's pre-release communication, which also lists 2026 sales guidance of EUR 20.00 billion to EUR 21.00 billion and an operating-margin range of 4.70 percent to 5.30 percent through MarketScreener.
