Coface stock (ISIN FR0000064784) recently changed hands at around EUR 16.02 on Euronext Paris on September 17, 2026, leaving the specialist trade-credit insurer near its 52-week high of EUR 16.66 as investors price in robust demand for export risk coverage.

Stock price near top of recent range

According to data from a Reuters quote overview for the Euronext Paris listing, Coface shares last traded at about EUR 16.02 on September 17, 2026, a gain of 0.50% versus the prior close of EUR 15.94 on the same venue.

The same Reuters overview shows a 52-week range between EUR 14.02 and EUR 16.66, meaning the September 17, 2026 price stood less than one euro below the recent high and comfortably above the low of the past year, underlining how the market has steadily repriced the insurer as trade flows and credit risk have shifted.

Trade-credit specialization and regional revenue mix

A recent analysis on Simply Wall St highlights that Coface is a pure trade-credit insurer focused on protecting exporters and suppliers against non-payment on cross-border receivables and political events, positioning it closer to tariff and sanctions risk than more diversified peers.

In that Simply Wall St breakdown of Coface’s operations, the company is shown generating about EUR 546.9 million of revenue from the Mediterranean and Africa region, EUR 427.9 million from Western Europe and Africa, and EUR 374.1 million from Northern Europe, illustrating a broad geographic spread where regional credit cycles can differently affect earnings.

The same Simply Wall St overview cites a market capitalization of roughly EUR 2.6 billion for Coface as of September 2026, which, together with the Euronext price level around EUR 16, implies that the market is valuing the group at more than four times those regional revenue slices, a ratio investors can compare with other insurance names when assessing valuation.

Risk backdrop and investor focus

The Simply Wall St commentary frames Coface as being close to the ‘coalface’ of tariff and sanctions risk, since its core business is insuring whether customers actually get paid when trade flows snag, meaning earnings and claims trends can be sensitive to shifts in global trade policy.

For equity investors, the regional revenue mix and that sensitivity to trade-credit events mean upcoming quarterly and half-year reports will be watched for changes in loss ratios and margins, especially in regions exposed to higher geopolitical or currency volatility.

Coface stock price context for investors

With Coface stock at about EUR 16.02 on Euronext Paris as of September 17, 2026 and a 52-week span from EUR 14.02 to EUR 16.66, the shares remain close to the upper end of their recent trading range while the company’s market capitalization stands around EUR 2.6 billion in euro terms.
