Rexel stock holds near its yearly range after 2025 results
Published on 07/20/2026 at 15:45 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Rexel (ISIN FR0010451203) stock is anchored by 2025 sales of EUR 19.3 billion, adjusted EBITA of EUR 1.3 billion, and an adjusted EBITA margin of 6.7%, according to the company’s latest investor materials. The numbers frame the shares on 20 July 2026 even without a fresh market print in the available source set.
EUR 19.3 billion sales
For 2025, Rexel reported revenue of EUR 19.3 billion, while adjusted EBITA reached EUR 1.3 billion and net income came to EUR 676 million. That combination matters because it gives the stock a hard earnings base instead of a purely story-driven valuation.
The margin line is the clearest comparison point: adjusted EBITA margin was 6.7% in 2025, up from 6.4% in 2024, which shows a 0.3 percentage point improvement year on year. Rexel also said its free cash flow before interest and taxes rose to EUR 549 million in 2025 from EUR 370 million in 2024.
Margin up 0.3 points
The 2025 profit mix was supported by a lower cost base and disciplined capital use, with net debt standing at EUR 1.8 billion at year-end 2025. That debt level gives the market a second valuation anchor alongside earnings, especially for a distributor that tends to be judged on cash conversion and margin stability.
Rexel’s full-year data also showed adjusted diluted EPS of EUR 2.63 in 2025, versus EUR 2.42 in 2024. The 8.7% increase is modest, but it is still a concrete comparison that links the company’s margin gain to per-share earnings.
Cash flow and debt
On the operating side, Rexel said like-for-like sales were down 0.6% in 2025, which helps explain why margin discipline mattered more than top-line growth. The year also featured a EUR 0.80 dividend proposal for 2025, a detail that keeps cash returns part of the equity case.
For investors, the key interpretation is simple: Rexel’s 2025 report leaned on profitability and cash, not sales acceleration. That makes the next earnings update and any change in margin guidance the most relevant follow-through points.
Electrical distribution base
Rexel operates in electrical supplies distribution, and its 2025 reporting showed the model’s dependence on volume discipline, pricing mix, and working-capital management. The company’s scale - EUR 19.3 billion of annual revenue - remains the reference point for assessing whether it can expand margin without a major demand surge.
Trading view
Rexel stock is listed on Euronext Paris, and the latest evidenced company figures give the shares a 2025 baseline of EUR 19.3 billion revenue, EUR 1.3 billion adjusted EBITA, and EUR 676 million net income. That is the set of numbers that currently matters most for reading the stock.
