CAC 40 rises 0.8% to 7,935 points as consumer stocks lead gains
The CAC 40 index closed at 7,935 points on October 15, 2026, up 0.8%, driven by strong performances in consumer stocks. Pernod Ricard's smaller-than-expected sales decline and Publicis Groupe's positive earnings report bolstered investor confidence. However, technology shares, notably STMicroelectronics, faced declines amid a global tech selloff.
Key points
- Pernod Ricard's 3.4% rise after reporting a 0.9% sales decline, better than anticipated.
- Publicis Groupe gained 3.7% following strong earnings results.
- STMicroelectronics fell 3.8% amid a global technology selloff.
- France's 10-year bond yield decreased to 4.78%, potentially offsetting tech sector losses.
