Technip Energies Shares Rise for 7 Sessions While CAC 40 Declines
As the CAC 40 falls by 1.25% during the session, Technip Energies shows an increase of 2.42% to 37.30 euros this Thursday, April 2. The stock of the oil and gas engineering specialist marks its seventh consecutive session of increase, bringing its weekly performance to over 9%.
Brent Crude Surge Supports Technip Energies
The surge in Brent crude prices, which rebounded to around 108 dollars a barrel after a jump of more than 6% in twenty-four hours, is a clear supporting factor for Technip Energies. The collapse of ceasefire hopes between Washington and Tehran, following Iran's formal denial of a truce request, has reignited fears of regional flare-ups in the Middle East. The verbal and military escalation between the two powers fuels the geopolitical risk premium on crude, which mechanically benefits oil-related stocks. The stock moves against the trend of a pressured Parisian market: the SBF 120 drops 1.26% during the session. Other stocks exposed to the oil sector are also up, like TotalEnergies (+3.06%) and Shell (+2.99%). Technip Energies, whose business relies on designing infrastructure for major oil and gas companies, benefits from the prospect of sustained investments in a context of durably high crude prices. The first quarter 2026 results, expected on April 30, will be a major event to assess the concrete impact of this situation on the group's order book.
Technical Analysis Indicates Potential Upside
Technically, the stock is approaching its identified resistance at 37.60 euros, a level it has not yet crossed during the session. A confirmed breach of this threshold could potentially pave the way for a bullish extension. The price is now significantly above its 50-day moving average, located at 33.58 euros, a gap of about 11% that reflects the strength of the upward trend initiated several weeks ago. The RSI, an indicator measuring buying momentum, stands at 64. This level indicates sustained buying pressure without signaling an overbought situation, generally associated with an RSI above 70. With a progression of 14.84% over three months and 21.5% over a year, the stock's trajectory reflects continuous revaluation in a supportive sector environment. The particularly low beta of the stock, at 0.15, further confirms its low correlation with general market movements, partly explaining its ability to move contrary to the CAC 40 during turbulent sessions like this Thursday.
