L'Oreal stock gains 1.32 percent as Jefferies cuts target

L'Oreal (ISIN FR0000120321) closed at EUR 381.00 on Euronext Paris on September 21, 2026, gaining 1.32 percent. On September 22, 2026, Jefferies lowered its price target from EUR 377 to EUR 361 while retaining a Neutral rating, according to MarketScreener.

Jefferies lowers its target

The revised EUR 361 target is EUR 16 below the September 21 closing price, a gap of 4.2 percent based on those two figures. The unchanged Neutral stance makes the target reduction the clearest current analyst signal attached to the shares.

TradingSat also reported on September 22, 2026 that Jefferies cut the target from EUR 377 to EUR 361 and maintained its hold recommendation. The move contrasts with the broader consensus shown by MarketScreener, where 24 analysts had an average target of EUR 418.42 and an average recommendation of Accumulate as of September 22, 2026.

Revenue reaches EUR 11.62 billion

The latest period shown in the available market data is the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, when revenue was EUR 11.62 billion, according to Yahoo Finance data dated September 21, 2026. The same data lists trailing revenue of EUR 45.35 billion and net income available to common shareholders of EUR 6.31 billion, both on a trailing basis as of September 21, 2026.

The reporting-period distinction matters: quarterly revenue belongs to Q2 fiscal year 2026, while the EUR 45.35 billion revenue and EUR 6.31 billion net income figures are trailing measures rather than a single quarter. That combination gives the stock a current operating reference without treating the trailing numbers as newly reported quarterly results.

Stock remains below yearly peak

The primary reference market is Euronext Paris, where the September 21 close of EUR 381.00 sits only EUR 0.60 above the 52-week low of EUR 380.40 reported for the LRLCF quote on September 17, 2026, while the 52-week high was EUR 485.61. The range places the close EUR 104.61 below the high, or 21.5 percent lower.

L'Oreal's market capitalization was listed at EUR 204.1 billion on September 22, 2026. The contrast between the EUR 361 Jefferies target and the EUR 418.42 consensus target leaves a spread of EUR 57.42, showing how differently analysts frame the valuation despite the common September price reference.
