OPmobility (ISIN FR0000124570) was last at EUR 12.44 on Euronext Paris on October 7, 2026, at 5:35 p.m. CEST. In a release dated October 7, 2026, Les Echos reported that OPmobility set its 2026 operating margin target at EUR 430 million to EUR 450 million.

Targets fall as costs rise

The revised operating margin target compares with EUR 490 million achieved in 2025, while the company now targets free cash flow above EUR 220 million. The release also sets 2026 restructuring costs at EUR 120 million to EUR 130 million as OPmobility adapts its industrial footprint and research organization.

According to Euronext, OPmobility lowered its 2026 targets because automotive market conditions deteriorated more than expected. The same report said the group had generated EUR 297 million of free cash flow in 2025, giving investors a clear historical benchmark for the new cash objective.

Restructuring carries the burden

The plan includes 460 position reductions in Germany and 310 in France, alongside the closure of two French research and development facilities and the transfer of production from the Sterbfritz plant. The measures are intended to address excess capacity and lower activity linked to internal-combustion and hydrogen mobility projects.

OPmobility also cited lower global vehicle production forecasts, customer activity adjustments in Europe and delays in hydrogen mobility. The combination matters because the company is trying to preserve cash generation while absorbing restructuring charges of up to EUR 130 million in 2026.
