Jefferies cut its target for Safran from EUR 340.00 to EUR 300.00 on October 26, 2026, while maintaining a Neutral rating, according to MarketScreener. The revised target lies 9.39 percent above Safran's EUR 274.25 price at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 5:04 p.m. CEST.
Target cut narrows the valuation gap
The Jefferies change leaves a more cautious published valuation marker than the previous EUR 340.00 target. The new level is still EUR 25.75 above the Lang & Schwarz price, a 9.39 percent difference calculated in euros.
Safran remains listed on Euronext Paris and belongs to the CAC 40, according to the company's third-quarter release dated October 23, 2026. That release also set out the company's aerospace propulsion, aircraft equipment and defense activities, while aircraft interiors provide a separate operating area.
Stock sits below its yearly high
Safran's primary-market quote was EUR 274.20 at 5:54 p.m. CEST on October 27, 2026. Its 52-week range was EUR 262.60 to EUR 366.50 on the same dated quote, placing the current Lang & Schwarz price 25.17 percent below the high and 4.43 percent above the low.
The stock's market capitalization was EUR 113.7 billion on October 27, 2026. Its price-to-earnings ratio was 29.48, while the trailing dividend yield was 0.01 percent on the same quote.
What does the target imply?
The EUR 300.00 target is a concrete test for the shares after the recent decline. It implies limited upside from the October 27 price, while the 52-week range shows that the stock remains much closer to its low than its high.
