(BFM Stock Exchange) – The two titles violently won this Friday, September 12 shortly after 1 p.m. In question: a press article evoking the implementation of social security contributions for employers on the advantages paid to employees. Including tickets-restaurants.

It is definitely a complicated week for Edenred and Pluxee. Around 1 p.m., the two prepaid service issues (restaurant titles, gift titles) violently won this Friday, September 12, losing more than 9.4% for Edenred and more than 6.7% for Pluxee.

The gray blow at the time of lunch was probably caused by press information.

The echoes wrote in an article published this Friday that the 2026 budget project of the former Bayrou government “plans in particular to create a social levy of 8% on restaurant tickets, vacuum checks, universal service checks (CESU) pre-funded or on the financing of activities, cultural, social and sports by employers or business committees”.

According to Les Les Echos, this measure would earn nearly 1 billion euros in revenue (950 million) for social security, according to a draft article in the “security” financing bill.

Edenred and Pluxee also face concerns about regulation in Brazil, a very important market. In Italy, the executive has set up a cap of the restaurant titles commissions, which will be effective this year.
