Viridien Shares Soar by 15%
Viridien surged by more than 15% on Monday mid-morning, crossing the 140 euros mark. The stock thus surpasses a peak from 2020, amidst a session where the CAC 40 declines by more than 1%. The upcoming publication of the first quarter results on May 5 will be a significant event for the group.
Viridien Trading Around 140 Euros
Viridien stock is trading around 140 euros this Monday morning, showing a rise of 15.04% compared to last Friday's close at 121.70 euros. This surge propels the stock beyond its previous six-year high of 139.50 euros set in 2020, a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over one year, the performance now reaches 181.1%, and the gain over the last three months is nearly 14.6%. This movement goes against the current of the Parisian market: the CAC 40 is down 1.13% in session, while the SBF 120 falls by 1.08%. In Europe, the German DAX, however, is up by 2.27%. On the Paris stock exchange, other technology stocks are suffering: Dassault Systèmes is down 2.68% and Capgemini falls by 1.94%, highlighting the isolated nature of Viridien's spike.
Technical Perspective: Surpassing Bollinger Bands
Technically, the price of 140 euros now exceeds the upper boundary of the Bollinger Bands, set at 138.86 euros, placing the stock in a potential overbought zone. This breakthrough indicates a sharp acceleration beyond recent volatility, with the price moving at 106% of the band's width. The stock has also clearly broken through its identified resistance at 137.40 euros, a level that could now serve as a support point in case of consolidation. The 50-day moving average, currently at 125.22 euros, is well below the current price, confirming the medium-term upward momentum. The gap with the 200-day moving average, positioned at 92.08 euros, exceeds 33 euros, reflecting the magnitude of the rebound accumulated over the past year. The RSI, at 43 before this session, was still in a neutral zone, leaving room for progression before reaching the typically monitored excess levels. The next milestone to watch remains the publication of the quarterly accounts on May 5, which could provide a fundamental catalyst after this purely technical movement.
