What believers are saying

  • Barrière opened Fouquet’s Mykonos in May 2026, entering Greece’s luxury leisure market.
  • The group recruited nearly 1,200 seasonal workers for summer 2026, signaling busy properties.

What critics are saying

  • Casino revenues still supply about 70% of 2025 sales, concentrating downside exposure.
  • Portugal integration at Póvoa and Lisbon requires millions in capex through 2027.
