   ** Shares in Dassault Aviation AM.PA up 7.6% after a "stellar H1 performance" 
** The maker of Rafale warplanes and Falcon business jets reported H1 adjusted operating income up 83% year-on-year- at €330 million ($376.96 million) and an adjusted net sales increase of 46% YOY
       ** "The revenue outperformance was largely driven by the achievement of development and support milestones" says Berenberg 
** The brokerage says full-year guidance is unchanged but it has significantly "de-risked" after the half-year print 
** "H1 confirms that the Rafale ramp is translating into stronger earnings quality, with a better mix and clearer operating leverage," says Alpha Value 
** Alpha Value adds Falcon demand is also recovering but execution stays constrained by the supply chain back-end-loaded delivery plan
       ** Share on track for a best day since March 2025
