Rubis stock (ISIN FR0013269123) closed at EUR 34.76 on Euronext Paris on October 2, 2026, down 0.40 percent. The company raised its 2026 EBITDA guidance after reporting first-half EBITDA of EUR 434 million, up 18 percent year over year, according to GlobeNewswire on September 8, 2026.
Guidance moves to EUR 825 million
Rubis now expects 2026 EBITDA between EUR 775 million and EUR 825 million, compared with its previous range of EUR 740 million to EUR 790 million. The upper end of the new range is EUR 35 million above the former ceiling, while the lower end is EUR 35 million higher.

Bitumen and Africa drive growth
Rubis reported the strongest operating expansion in its energy distribution activities. Retail and marketing EBITDA rose 22 percent to EUR 324 million, while Africa EBITDA increased 33 percent to EUR 122 million in H1 2026.
Bitumen volumes rose 44 percent to 415,000 cubic meters, and the segment's gross margin increased 54 percent to EUR 70 million. Photosol also expanded its operating assets by 32 percent year over year to 799 megawatt-peak, giving the renewable business a larger contribution base.
Consensus target stays above the price
MarketScreener listed a Buy mean consensus from 7 analysts on September 8, 2026. Its average price target was EUR 40.28, with a high target of EUR 49.00 and a low target of EUR 33.00; the average target lies 15.9 percent above the EUR 34.76 closing price.
The operating picture includes a counterweight. Rubis said high oil prices could weigh on second-half demand, while Nigerian demand may soften and European bitumen growth may come with lower margins. Adjusted operating cash flow was EUR 223 million in H1 2026, down 19 percent from EUR 276 million in H1 2025.
