Wendel SE (ISIN FR0000120966) stock closed at EUR 82.90 on Euronext Paris on September 18, 2026, unchanged on the day and trading between a 52-week low of EUR 72.35 and a 52-week high of EUR 91.65 per exchange data for that session.

Stock trades in a narrow range

At the close on September 18, 2026, Wendel stock finished at EUR 82.90 on Euronext Paris, matching the official closing auction at 17:55 local time and reflecting a flat performance versus the prior day’s close, while remaining below its 52-week high of EUR 91.65 and above the 52-week low of EUR 72.35 based on recent market statistics.

With the current price roughly EUR 9.30 below the 52-week high and about EUR 10.55 above the 52-week low as of September 18, 2026, the shares are trading in the middle portion of their one-year range, a level that suggests investors are waiting for new catalysts before pushing the stock toward either extreme.

Recent full-year figures support valuation

According to Wendel in its most recent annual report for fiscal year 2025, consolidated net sales across its portfolio companies reached approximately EUR 9.0 billion, an increase of around 10 percent compared with fiscal year 2024, illustrating that the group’s holdings collectively expanded their top line over the latest full-year period.

In the same fiscal year 2025 reporting, Wendel indicated that consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent came in at roughly EUR 600 million, compared with about EUR 540 million in fiscal year 2024, implying earnings growth of around 11 percent year on year and supporting the sustainability of the current dividend and investment program.

Wendel also reported that its net asset value (NAV) per share stood near EUR 130 at the end of fiscal year 2025 versus approximately EUR 120 one year earlier, a rise of just over 8 percent that highlights how portfolio value creation has outpaced the share price move, given that the stock closed at EUR 82.90 on September 18, 2026, which is clearly below the latest reported NAV per share benchmark.

Balance sheet and portfolio diversification

Per the fiscal year 2025 accounts presented by Wendel, the investment group ended the period with net debt of around EUR 3.0 billion, broadly stable relative to the approximately EUR 3.1 billion recorded at the end of fiscal year 2024, indicating that leverage was kept under control despite continued investment activity.

On the asset side, Wendel disclosed that its portfolio remained diversified across several core holdings, with industrial, business services and consumer-related investments collectively generating the bulk of the EUR 9.0 billion in 2025 net sales and contributing to the EUR 600 million net income figure, which helps mitigate single-asset risk for shareholders.

The group’s financial structure, with an NAV per share around EUR 130 at the end of fiscal year 2025 and a net debt position of approximately EUR 3.0 billion, suggests that the current share price of EUR 82.90 on September 18, 2026, reflects a discount to intrinsic value, a factor that long-term investors often monitor when assessing entry points into diversified investment companies.
