L'Oréal (FR0000120321) faces a more cautious tone from Deutsche Bank this week. The CAC 40 constituent, listed on Euronext Paris, remains close to 375 euros as the German bank cuts its rating to Sell and trims its price target, according to recent analyst notes.
What Deutsche Bank now says
Deutsche Bank analyst Tom Sykes has downgraded L'Oréal from Hold to Sell and reduced his price target from 360 euros to 340 euros, arguing that growth is likely to slow in the second half of 2026. The move is documented in a recent analyst update and summarized by MarketScreener data. MarketScreener highlights the Deutsche Bank downgrade and target cut.
On Tuesday morning in Paris, L'Oréal shares traded lower following the Deutsche Bank note, with the stock down around 0.93 percent at about 374.60 euros around 11:00 local time, according to MarketScreener figures. The CAC 40 index was off roughly 0.97 percent at the same time, underscoring that the stock moved broadly in line with the wider French benchmark. An earlier ad-hoc-news overview details the intraday reaction and index context.
How the broader consensus looks
Despite the downgrade, L'Oréal still trades against a generally constructive sell-side backdrop, with MarketScreener data pointing to an average target price around 407.58 euros. This implies that many houses continue to see upside versus the roughly 375-euro trading region reported on Euronext Paris on June 23, 2026. MarketScreener's consensus page outlines the current target average and rating distribution.
L'Oréal's earlier regulatory filing on May 31, 2026 reported 533,785,274 total shares and 532,399,204 voting rights excluding treasury shares, underlining the scale of the beauty group within the CAC 40 universe. The disclosure was made in line with article L.233-8 II of the French Commercial Code and article 223-16 of the AMF General Regulations. An earlier voting-rights update on ad-hoc-news recaps the capital structure figures.
