Bic stock was priced at EUR 67.40 on Euronext Paris at 5:55 p.m. CEST on September 23, 2026, up 0.45 percent from the previous close. The key market issue is the company's 2030 strategy, while UBS has raised its price target from EUR 56.00 to EUR 70.00 and kept a neutral rating.
UBS raises its target
According to Ideal Investor on September 17, 2026, UBS increased its Bic target from EUR 56.00 to EUR 70.00 while maintaining its neutral recommendation. The new target is EUR 2.60 above the September 23 closing price, a gap of 3.86 percent.
The target change followed a series of upward revisions in September. The valuation signal is restrained rather than bullish because the neutral rating stayed in place even as the target moved higher.
H1 margin reaches 16.0 percent
Quartr reports that H1 2026 organic net sales grew 1.7 percent and adjusted EBIT margin reached 16.0 percent. Those figures give the 2030 plan an operating starting point, although the company still has to convert margin progress into sustained sales growth.
In its strategic update dated September 7, 2026, Financial Times said Bic is targeting an adjusted EBIT margin above 15.5 percent by 2030 and net free cash flow above EUR 250 million in 2030. The plan also targets cumulative free cash flow of EUR 900 million to EUR 950 million from 2027 through 2030, alongside a 40 percent to 50 percent adjusted EPS payout ratio.
Stock remains below yearly high
Bic stock's September 23 closing price stood EUR 2.10 below its 52-week high of EUR 69.50 and EUR 21.20 above its 52-week low of EUR 46.20. The shares gained 30.87 percent since the start of 2026, while that session's volume reached 18,439 shares.
The next scheduled operating milestone is third-quarter 2026 net sales on October 28, 2026, according to Financial Times. For investors, that release will provide the next reported test of the growth plan before the company's full-year 2026 results on February 24, 2027.
