"[A] more uncertain fiscal and political backdrop could affect investor sentiment over the state's level of involvement going forward," Morgan Stanley analysts say in a research note. Air France-KLM, with 30% of its revenue coming from France, is unsurprisingly exposed to any election impacts, the analysts say.
