Crédit Agricole (FR0000045072) sits among Europe’s larger banking groups, with its primary listing on Euronext Paris in the CAC 40 financial cohort. The stock’s current valuation and analyst stance offer a cautious but consistent picture, backed by recent earnings data and dividend metrics.

What recent numbers show

For the first quarter of 2026, Credit Agricole reported earnings per share of about $0.30 on its US-traded CRARY line, marginally above a $0.29 consensus figure according to MarketBeat. That equates to trailing twelve-month EPS of roughly $1.20 and a price-to-earnings ratio near 8.3 at a $9.99 CRARY quote as of early afternoon Eastern time.

This P/E multiple implies the market prices the banking group below many non-financial CAC 40 names, reflecting typical sector discounts but also a cautious stance on future profitability. The US-quoted shares also carry a dividend yield reported at around 4.2 percent, signaling income appeal for investors willing to accept bank-sector risk.

Analyst view and consensus

MarketBeat lists Credit Agricole with a consensus "Hold" rating, indicating neither a strong conviction buy nor a clear sell bias from the currently tracked analysts. While individual target prices are not prominently aggregated there, the Hold tag points to expectations of moderate performance rather than a marked re-rating in the near term.

On Investing.com, the Crédit Agricole SA listing under ticker CAGR in Paris corroborates the bank’s position as a core French financial institution, traded in euros and cross-listed in several European venues. The parallel CRARY line in the US over-the-counter markets extends access to international investors, which can influence liquidity and visibility for the broader equity story.

Crédit Agricole’s core business rests on universal banking activities, including retail banking through regional banks, corporate and investment banking, and asset management services. The group offers lending, deposit, payments, insurance and savings products to households and enterprises, alongside capital markets and advisory services for larger institutional clients.
