The civil and military high-tech specialist reported a sharp 40% increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. While overall order intake stood at 112 million euros for the quarter - a headline decline due to an exceptional base effect (a 400 million euro contract signed in February 2025) - the underlying momentum remains extremely robust.

Maurel & Prom
The oil group has started the year with strong momentum, driven by favorable prices and sustained activity. In the first quarter, M&P's working interest production reached 37,444 barrels of oil equivalent per day, up 7%. Gabon drove this growth, while Angola saw a slight decline. Meanwhile, gas activities remained stable. In this context, revenue reached 163 million dollars, up 85% quarter-on-quarter and 155% year-on-year. This increase is primarily explained by the recovery in the oil selling price to 90.8 dollars per barrel, compared to 64.3 dollars previously. Valued production stood at 145 million dollars (+32%), services contributed 3 million, and lifting differentials had a positive impact of 16 million.

Pluxee unveiled an adjusted earnings per share, group share, of 0.78 euros for the first half of its 2026 fiscal year, up 6.8%, with a recurring EBITDA margin of 37.0%, up 229 basis points organically (+159 basis points on a reported basis).

Average selling prices also rose to 73.7 dollars per barrel for liquids and 5.59 dollars per MBtu for gas. The European refining margin indicator remains high at 11.4 dollars per barrel. In this context, Exploration-Production results are expected to rise sharply, driven by higher selling prices and contributions from new projects. The LNG segment is also expected to show a clear improvement, supported by a 10% increase in production and dynamic trading activities.
