Business
Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 4 findings−18 of −30
- −8MarginThe group's operating margin was 5.2% in H1 2026 (6.0% a year earlier) and the automotive division's only 3.0% (€814m); full-year guidance is about 5.5% vs about 7.4% in 2024. Gross margin has fallen from 20.8% (2023–24) to 17.9% TTM.
- −4Capital allocation (Nissan)The alliance with Nissan cost an extraordinary write-down of EUR 9.3bn in 2025 and a net loss of EUR 10.9bn – the first loss in five years and more than today's market value.
- −3ROICROIC is 3.3% TTM and has been between 0.8% and 4.7% in 2021–25 – below the cost of capital throughout the period.
- −3Quality of growthRevenue rose 9.5% in H1, but registrations fell 0.4% to 1.165m cars and Dacia sales fell 8%; growth comes from mix and less inventory clearance at dealers. Operating profit has fallen from €4.17bn (2024) to €3.49bn TTM despite higher revenue.
Price
Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 1 finding−3 of −35
- −3Multiples vs own history and peersForward P/E 3.95 vs 2.7–5.5 in 2021–24 (mid-range) and P/B 0.32 vs 0.29–0.43 – low, but Renault has always traded at 'value trap' multiples, and EPS consensus for 2026 looks optimistic vs the H1 figures. Peers: Volkswagen forward about 4.1.
Cracks
Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 3 findings−10 of −35
- −5Chinese competition and price pressureRenault guided in February to a clearly lower margin in 2026 due to price pressure from Chinese rivals (stock fell about 6%); in H1 management still cites price pressure in Europe, and Chinese brands are almost doubling sales to short-term rental.
- −3Commodity inflationRenault expects a raw materials tailwind of about 600 m € in 2026, of which about 400 m € in H2, and calls it structural; the margin improvement in H2 will therefore be only 'modest'.
- −2Regulation (Euro 6e-bis and CO2)The Euro 6e-bis requirements bring extra costs in the B+ segments that are hard to pass on to customers.
Plus
Only documented strengths. · 2 findings+4 of +15
- +3Net cash in the car divisionThe car parts division had net cash of EUR 6.6bn as of 30 June 2026 – roughly the entire market value – and the car parts division's FCF is expected to be about EUR 1bn in 2026 (653m in H1).
- +1Product mix and electrificationAlpine set a record with +69% (8,000 cars), the Renault brand grew 2.6%, Dacia's orders rose 4%, and electrified cars make up two thirds of the Renault brand's sales in Europe.
Caveats
What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
stockanalysis' net debt of €51bn, EV of €60bn, Debt/EBITDA 11 and ROIC include the loan book of Mobilize Financial Services (RCI Bank); the automotive part itself has net cash of €6.6bn (30/6-2026) vs. a market cap of about €7.2bn. In addition comes the remaining Nissan stake, whose value has not been calculated here. The 2025 net result (−€10.9bn) is mainly due to a €9.3bn impairment on Nissan. Analysts' EPS for 2026 (€6.59) looks high against H1 EPS of €2.39 and a 'modest' improvement in H2 – forward P/E 3.95 may be too low. stockanalysis shows +3.9% in share count over a year, which has not been investigated (possibly technical due to treasury shares/Nissan cross-ownership) and no deduction was made. The French state owns about 15%. Cyclical = no by the prompt's definition (car maker, not a commodity cycle), but earnings are very sensitive to the economic cycle. The short interest was at a record high in September 2026. Q3 revenue about 20/10; insider trading not investigated.
