Arkema S.A. (FR0010313833) stock traded at 60.05 euros on August 21, 2026, after a Bernstein target lift to 67 euros from 61 euros reset the stock's near-term reference point. The move left the shares 10.78% higher for 2026 and 10.34% below the new target.
Target reset
The update added a concrete comparison: the target rose by 6 euros, which equals a 9.84% increase from the prior level. That matters because the revised target now sits above the market quote by 6.95 euros, keeping valuation and earnings delivery under scrutiny.
Arkema's latest reported results are the half year ended June 30, 2026, and that period remains the cleanest operating anchor in the current flow. The same result set also points to Q1 EBITDA of EUR 282.7 million and full-year 2025 EBITDA of EUR 1.25 billion, giving investors a quarter-to-quarter and year-over-year frame for the stock.
Operating frame
The half-year report and the 2025 baseline show why the market still treats earnings power as the key variable for Arkema. A 2026 quote of 60.05 euros against a 67 euro target, paired with a 2025 EBITDA base of EUR 1.25 billion, keeps the debate focused on how much of that earnings run rate can be defended into the second half.
On the business side, Arkema's PVDF line remains one of the clearest examples of how the group links specialty materials to battery, electronics and industrial demand. The North American PVDF expansion, completed in June 2026, gives that product family extra weight when investors model margins and utilization.
Price and position
Arkema stock was quoted at 60.05 euros on August 21, 2026, with a 5-day move of +1.65% and a market cap of EUR 4,469 million. The stock's 2026 gain of 10.78% leaves it below the updated 67 euro target, but still firmly above where it began the year.
