Renault stock (ISIN FR0000131906) closed at EUR 27.41 on September 18, 2026, down 5.32 percent on the day. The move came as the broader CAC 40 closed at 8,065.02 points on September 18, 2026, a weak backdrop for French large caps.

Profit and revenue

According to OICA on September 21, 2026, Renault returned to a EUR 700 million first-half profit, while revenue rose 9.4 percent. The same report says the group kept its margin target and linked the improvement to higher prices, contract manufacturing and demand for the Renault 5 EV.

What the market sees

For investors, the comparison is the key point: a EUR 700 million first-half profit sits against a business that is still being described with a margin target in place, not a one-off rebound. The first-half revenue growth of 9.4 percent gives that profit line a clear operating base.

According to Ideal Investisseur on September 21, 2026, CIC Market Solutions moved Renault from hold to buy and raised its target from EUR 86.54 to EUR 106.60. That is a gain of EUR 20.06, or 23.2 percent, in the target itself.
