Inter Parfums (ISIN US4583341098) moved above its 200-day average of USD 105.24, with a last Nasdaq quote of USD 113.95 on October 2, 2026, according to MarketBeat. On September 22, 2026, Inter Parfums announced an exclusive worldwide license agreement with PUMA for fragrances, with the first product planned for 2027 and the license running through December 31, 2037, as MarketScreener reported.

PUMA adds a long license runway

The agreement adds PUMA to Inter Parfums' licensed brand portfolio and gives the fragrance group a defined commercialization window through 2037. The first launch is scheduled for 2027, so the announcement is an operating milestone rather than a reported revenue contribution for fiscal 2026.

Inter Parfums operates European and United States business segments and distributes licensed fragrance products across more than 120 countries, according to the company release carried by MarketScreener.

Revenue growth stays measured

For the second quarter of 2026, revenue was USD 341.04 million, up 2.10 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share were USD 0.95, matching the consensus estimate of USD 0.95, while fiscal 2026 guidance stood at USD 4.85 in earnings per share, according to MarketBeat. The comparison matters because the PUMA launch is forward-looking, while the latest reported quarter showed low single-digit revenue growth.

Analyst views remain divided. Goldman Sachs cut its rating from Buy to Neutral and lifted its price target from USD 110.00 to USD 129.00 in a report dated August 10, 2026, while Berenberg cut its rating from Buy to Hold and set a USD 130.00 target on August 14, 2026, both as reported by MarketBeat. The spread between those ratings and the company's USD 4.85 fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share guidance makes execution on new licenses a central valuation question.
