Arkema stock (ISIN FR0010313833) closed at EUR 56.35 on the primary Paris market on September 21, 2026, gaining 0.62 percent from EUR 56.00. The price remains below the 52-week high of EUR 67.05 but above the low of EUR 48.30, giving the latest move a measured rather than breakout character.

Second-quarter figures set the baseline

Arkema reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of EUR 2.43 billion and earnings of EUR 65.7 million. The reported EPS of EUR 1.70 exceeded the EUR 1.65 estimate for the quarter, a EUR 0.05 variance that provides the clearest quantified earnings comparison in the latest available data.

The first-half 2026 reporting period also gives investors a current operating reference. The company generated EUR 9.13 billion in estimated full-year 2026 sales and EUR 202 million in estimated net income in the latest financial estimates, while estimated net debt stood at EUR 2.40 billion for 2026.

Consensus leaves room above the close

Fourteen analysts have an average price target of EUR 62.93, compared with the September 21 closing price of EUR 56.35. The EUR 6.58 difference represents 11.67 percent above the close, while the target range spans EUR 50.00 to EUR 80.00.

The valuation picture is mixed. Arkema stock has gained 8.05 percent year to date in the Paris quotation, while the 52-week range shows that the current price is EUR 10.70 below the high and EUR 8.05 above the low. That spread places the shares closer to the lower half of the annual range than to the upper boundary.

November date sets next checkpoint

The next scheduled earnings release is listed for November 4, 2026, covering the third quarter of 2026. The current market data also show a market capitalization of EUR 4.256 billion and volume of 179,004 shares as of September 21, 2026.

For investors, the central comparison is therefore straightforward: second-quarter EPS of EUR 1.70 beat the EUR 1.65 estimate, but the share price still trades EUR 10.70 below its yearly high. The November reporting date will provide the next concrete test of whether earnings can narrow that valuation gap.
