Interparfums stock (FR0004024222) closed at EUR 28.00 on Euronext Paris on September 8, 2026, after a 0.5 percent session loss, while the latest half-year figures showed EUR 414.3 million in revenue for H1 2026 and an operating margin of 21.1 percent.

Half-year numbers set the tone

According to Reuters on September 9, 2026, Interparfums reported H1 2026 operating profit of EUR 87.3 million, down 16 percent year on year, and net profit of EUR 65.5 million, down 10 percent. The same Reuters report said revenue reached EUR 414.3 million in the first six months, down 7 percent, while the group still pointed to an operating margin of 18 percent for the full year.

That mix matters for investors because revenue shrank by EUR 32.6 million versus EUR 446.9 million a year earlier, yet profitability remained solid enough to keep the margin above 21 percent. Reuters also reported that analysts had expected EUR 79.7 million of operating profit and EUR 58.5 million of net profit, so the half-year beat was clear in absolute terms.

Margins beat the forecast

As Ideal Investisseur reported on September 9, 2026, gross margin reached 67.3 percent in H1 2026, up from 65.5 percent a year earlier, while earnings per share came in at EUR 0.78 versus EUR 0.96 in H1 2025. The same report said full-year 2026 revenue guidance remains EUR 850 million to EUR 870 million.

For the stock, the key point is not only the revenue decline but the resilience of the margin base. The market reaction reflected that balance, with Reuters-linked Paris market coverage showing the shares at EUR 28.24 and up 0.86 percent in intraday trading on September 9, 2026.

Stock trades near 28 euros

Interparfums stock traded at EUR 28.00 on Euronext Paris as of September 8, 2026, with a 52-week range of EUR 108.39 to USD 156.75 shown in U.S.-listed market data for the separate Interparfums Inc. ticker context. The Paris listing remained the reference price in EUR, and the latest session was still anchored by the H1 2026 release and the EUR 850 million to EUR 870 million revenue outlook.
