Danone's October 1, 2026 third-quarter sales aide-memoire retains fiscal year 2026 like-for-like sales growth guidance of 3.00 to 5.00 percent, according to the Danone release on GlobeNewswire. Danone stock was at EUR 61.88 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026 at 3:42 p.m. CEST, down 0.42 percent versus the EUR 62.14 Xetra close of October 23, 2026.

Q2 growth accelerated to 4.20 percent

The operating picture improved sequentially before the upcoming third-quarter sales report. Danone reported second-quarter like-for-like sales growth of 4.20 percent, compared with 2.70 percent in the first quarter. The first-half increase was 3.50 percent, with volume and mix contributing 1.70 percent and pricing contributing 1.80 percent, according to the Danone release.

The mix matters for the next update. In the second quarter, pricing contributed 2.30 percent of growth while volume and mix contributed 1.90 percent. That balance leaves the October 28 report with a clear test: whether demand is broadening or growth still depends mainly on price.

Guidance now meets the 52-week range

Danone's aide-memoire also says recurring operating income is expected to grow faster than sales in fiscal year 2026. The document records second-quarter sales of EUR 7,215 million and highlights regional differences, including 5.20 percent like-for-like growth in Asia Pacific and 4.30 percent in the Americas.

At EUR 61.88, the stock stood 22.53 percent below its 52-week high of EUR 79.90. TradingView's Xetra page lists the EUR 57.30 to EUR 79.90 52-week range and identifies Danone under ticker BSN on Xetra. The current market position therefore puts greater weight on the quality of growth in the next sales release, not only on whether the guidance range is repeated.

Danone stock stays below its yearly high

The stock's EUR 61.88 Lang & Schwarz price on October 26, 2026 at 3:42 p.m. CEST was EUR 0.26 below the EUR 62.14 Xetra close of October 23, 2026, a decline of 0.42 percent. The reported sales mix gives investors a measurable baseline for assessing the October 28 update.
