Air Liquide (ISIN FR0000120073) was trading at EUR 174.54 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026, at 9:10 a.m. CET, 0.03 percent above the Xetra close of October 23, 2026 (EUR 174.48). Markets Insider reported on October 20 that Bernstein analyst James Hooper kept a Buy rating and set a EUR 193.00 price target.
Analyst target sets the tone
The Bernstein target is EUR 18.46 above the Lang & Schwarz price, or 10.58 percent above it. The target therefore offers a more constructive valuation view than the nearly unchanged euro quotation, while the analyst action remains the latest dated rating event in the research record.
The counterpoint came on October 15. According to MarketScreener, JPMorgan kept a Neutral view and raised its target from EUR 162.00 to EUR 166.00.
What does October 29 mean?
The next operating test is the third-quarter revenue release. Air Liquide said on October 7 that it would publish third-quarter 2026 revenue on October 29, 2026. The company said revenue was close to EUR 27.0 billion in fiscal year 2025, providing the latest full-year scale reference before the new quarterly figure.
Three dates shape the setup
The chronology starts with Air Liquide's October 7 announcement of the October 29 revenue date and its fiscal year 2025 revenue close to EUR 27.0 billion. JPMorgan's October 15 update moved its target from EUR 162.00 to EUR 166.00. Bernstein's October 20 note then set the latest target at EUR 193.00.
The next substantiated date is October 29, 2026, for the third-quarter revenue release. That report can test whether the growth assumptions behind the competing targets are translating into reported sales.
