Bolloré stock reports 6 percent revenue growth in first half

Bolloré stock stood at EUR 3.61 on Euronext Paris on September 23, 2026, while first-half revenue reached EUR 1.644 billion, up 6 percent year over year. The results approved on September 16 show stronger sales but lower profitability, according to GlobeNewswire.

Revenue grows while profit drops

Bolloré reported EUR 1.644 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, compared with EUR 1.547 billion in the first half of 2025. At constant scope and exchange rates, growth was 8 percent, giving the top line a stronger profile than the reported increase.

The earnings quality was weaker. Adjusted operating income, or EBITA, declined 15 percent from EUR 123 million to EUR 104 million, while net income fell from EUR 242 million to EUR 133 million in the same period, the company report said.

Cash position reflects the dividend

Bolloré Energy generated EUR 1.467 billion of first-half revenue, up from EUR 1.337 billion, while its adjusted EBITA rose from EUR 27 million to EUR 47 million. The segment therefore contributed a quantified counterweight to the group-level profit decline.

Net cash stood at EUR 1.447 billion on June 30, 2026, versus EUR 5.619 billion on December 31, 2025. The report links the change to a EUR 4.2 billion exceptional dividend paid by Bolloré SE in June, while Compagnie de l'Odet scheduled a EUR 2.5 billion exceptional interim dividend for September 29, 2026.

Analyst targets move in opposite directions

Market expectations split after the interim figures. On September 23, CIC Market Solutions cut its target from EUR 5.00 to EUR 4.40, while BNP Paribas Exane reduced its target from EUR 4.50 to EUR 3.25, according to Ideal Investisseur. The gap between those targets underlines how sharply investors weigh cash distributions against weaker operating earnings.

Stock sits above yearly low

Bolloré stock was EUR 3.61 on Euronext Paris on September 23, 2026, down 0.61 percent for the session. The price was EUR 0.01, or 0.28 percent, above the 52-week low of EUR 3.60, against a 52-week high of EUR 5.67.
