5 CAC 40 Stocks in Oversold Territory with Over 17% Potential According to Analyst Consensus
The CAC 40 significantly rebounded this Monday, March 23, 2026, trading at 7,802 points, up by 1.79% in early afternoon, amidst a relaxation in volatility (VIX down by 4.11%). In this recovery movement, several stocks from the Paris exchange are showing significant discount levels compared to analysts' targets. Five of them — Eiffage, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, BNP Paribas, Publicis Groupe, and Veolia Environnement — share a common profile: RSI in the oversold zone and revaluation potentials exceeding 17% according to the consensus.
Technical Indicators Highlight Oversold Conditions
The most striking commonality among these five stocks is their RSI levels (Relative Strength Index, which measures the magnitude of recent price movements), all situated in the oversold zone, i.e., below the threshold of 35. Veolia Environnement has the lowest RSI in the group at 24, followed by Eiffage at 17 — a rarely seen level that might indicate excessive selling pressure. BNP Paribas (RSI at 31), Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (32), and Publicis Groupe (33) complete this list of technically pressured stocks. All these stocks are trading below their 20-day moving average, confirming a short-term downward trend, while remaining above their 200-day moving average — with the notable exception of Publicis, whose price (€71.74) is significantly below its MM200 (€83.51). Regarding analyst recommendations, the consensus is - at this time - largely favorable. Out of 44 reviews compiled for the five values, 34 are at 'buy' or 'overweight'. Veolia unanimously receives 6 positive recommendations out of 6, with an average target of €37.82, representing a potential of about 19.6%. BNP Paribas displays 9 favorable opinions out of 12 and an average target at €102.07 (potential of approximately 22.7%), while Eiffage gathers 8 positive opinions out of 11 with an average target of €157.80 (potential close to 20.3%). However, Publicis shows the most significant gap: the average target of analysts at €105.50 is notably above the current price, a discrepancy to monitor closely.
Distinct Fundamental Profiles Among the Five Stocks
The five stocks present distinct fundamental profiles. Eiffage, in the construction sector, shows a P/E ratio of 11.88 and a recent EPS of 11.01 euros published at the end of February. The stock, quoted at €132.75 this Monday (+3.47%), rebounds from a technical support identified around €128.30. Its general assembly is scheduled for April 22, followed by the first quarter revenue on May 12. Publicis Groupe stands out with a P/E ratio of 10.88, the lowest in the panel, and a 2025 EPS of 6.58 euros. The stock is just above its support at €70.52, a technical interest zone. In listed real estate, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (2025 EPS of 8.86 €) will publish its first quarter results on April 23, a potential catalyst. Goldman Sachs maintains a target at €141 against a current price of €95.94. In banking, BNP Paribas published a 2025 EPS of 8.60 euros on March 15. The stock should attract attention with the first quarter results expected on April 30. Lastly, Veolia Environnement, a utilities services player, saw HSBC reiterate its buy recommendation this very Monday with a target of €38. The stock (€31.89) is trading near its support at €31.10, in a technical configuration that could be a turning point to watch.
