EssilorLuxottica (ISIN FR0000121667) and Meta presented an expanded generation of smart glasses on September 24, 2026, adding a fresh operating test before the group's next revenue update. First-half revenue reached EUR 14.82 billion, up 5.70 percent from the prior-year period, while adjusted operating profit rose 15.00 percent at constant exchange rates, according to Ideal Investisseur.

Smart glasses raise the execution test

The September 24 product expansion matters because EssilorLuxottica is trying to connect optical technology, branded frames and distribution. Its first-half adjusted operating margin was 18.60 percent, below 18.90 percent at constant exchange rates, with currency effects weighing on the reported measure, Ideal Investisseur reported on October 14, 2026. That gap gives investors a concrete way to judge whether new wearable products can support growth without diluting profitability.
