Dassault Aviation reports €4.16 bn revenue and 83% profit jump in H1 2026

Dassault Aviation posted first‑half 2026 revenue of €4.16 billion, up 46% year‑on‑year, with adjusted operating profit of €330 million, an 83% increase that lifted the operating margin to 7.9%. Defense sales generated €2.94 billion, representing 71% of total revenue, while export revenues rose to 79% of the turnover.

The firm delivered twelve Rafale jets – ten to foreign customers and two to the French Air Force – and thirteen Falcon business jets. Falcon orders more than doubled to 23, worth €1.85 billion. The order book fell from €8.08 billion to €2.88 billion, reflecting the removal of a large 2025 Indian Rafale Marine contract rather than a loss of underlying demand. Dassault maintains its full‑year guidance and sees further opportunities in India and new programmes.
