Rating:75Outperform

▲(7.34% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:02/18/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance (strong revenue trajectory and consistently positive cash generation, tempered by earnings volatility), supported by bullish technical trend signals. Upgraded guidance and positive earnings-call sentiment add confidence, while valuation is the main offset due to a moderate P/E and low dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Consistent positive operating and free cash flow, with a sharp FCF improvement in 2025, provides durable financial flexibility. That cash generation supports reinvestment, buybacks, dividends and capex through cycles and reduces reliance on external funding over the next several years.
Negative Factors
French corporate surtax impact
A material French surtax meaningfully reduces net income and free cash flow in the near term and may constrain capital allocation priorities. Because the surtax is a structural fiscal burden over the coming years, it durably pressures shareholder returns and internal funding for investments.

SAFRAN SA Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 13, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a strongly positive operational and financial performance: robust revenue growth (+14.7% to EUR 31.3bn), record LEAP deliveries (+28%), significant margin expansion (+150 bps to 16.6%), and materially higher free cash flow (+23% to EUR 3.9bn). Management upgraded multi‑year targets and reiterated strong 2026 guidance. Key risks include FX volatility and hedging exposure, a non‑trivial French corporate surtax impact, one‑off charges, tariffs and ongoing supply‑chain/raw‑material risks, and the timing of LEAP RPFH profit recognition (mostly post‑2030). Overall, the positives (revenue, margin, cash generation, market share gains, upgraded guidance and defense momentum) materially outweigh the headwinds.Positive Updates
Strong Group Revenue Growth
Group revenue EUR 31.3 billion in 2025, up EUR 4.0 billion or +14.7% year-on-year (14.8% organic). OE sales +11.3% and Services revenue +18%.
Negative Updates
FX Headwinds and Volatility
US dollar weakness vs euro dragged results: FX translation reduced revenues by ~3.2% in 2025. Hedging hit an event in late January that cost <USD 1 billion of hedging volume (under 2% of portfolio), exposing sensitivity to EUR/USD moves above KO barriers.
