Sourced from L'Oreal's monthly AMF share-capital declaration; no treasury shares were held at 31 July 2026. The US ticker OR collides with a different SEC registrant, so the filing route does not apply.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (LRLCY), where one receipt represents 0.2 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
