L’Oreal stock price: Barclays turns overweight as Paris investors look to Feb 12 results

Paris, Jan 24, 2026, 21:48 CET — Market closed. L’Oreal (OREP.PA) will head into next week’s Paris session with a fresh broker upgrade in the background, after Barclays flipped its stance on the cosmetics group and raised its target price. The stock last closed on Friday at 386.25 euros, down 0.26%, while the CAC 40 eased 0.07%. (L’Oréal Finance) The timing matters.

Shanghai, Jan 25, 2026, 04:34 CST — The market has closed. China Construction Bank Corporation’s Shanghai-listed Class A shares (601939.SS) will return to focus on Monday following the state lender’s announcement that the review of its public REITs application tied to rental housing has been terminated.
