Summary · why it matters

Bouygues posted a very solid first-half 2026 performance with group net profit surging to 287 million euros, up 114 million euros year-on-year, despite a second consecutive year of an exceptional surtax on large French companies. Group revenue reached 26.3 billion euros, down 1.3 percent at constant exchange rates, while current operating profit from activities rose to 829 million euros, a 33 million euro increase. The improvement was driven by a sharp margin expansion at Equans, where the margin reached 5.2 percent, up 1.2 points, more than offsetting expected declines at Bouygues Telecom and TF1. Net financial debt improved significantly to 6.5 billion euros at end-June 2026, a 2 billion euro reduction year-on-year. The group confirmed its 2026 targets of stable revenue at constant exchange rates and maintaining current operating profit from activities at a historically high level, with Equans now aiming for a full-year margin of at least 5.2 percent.
