Air France-KLM Shares Gain 2% Midday, Continuing Advances
Air France-KLM shares continue their upward trend this Thursday, February 5, 2026, at midday, recording a gain of 2.01% at 11.68 euros. The stock is thus approaching its resistance threshold set at 12.28 euros, consolidating a bullish momentum marked by a jump of 10.19% over the last seven days and an impressive increase of 43.84% over the year.
Technical Indicators Show Positive Signals
The Air France-KLM stock is trading above its main moving averages, a positive signal for investors following technical analysis. The price now exceeds the 50-day moving average (11.13 euros) as well as the 200-day average (10.90 euros), confirming a trend reversal that started in recent weeks. The RSI indicator, positioned at 60, remains in a neutral zone that suggests a potential continuation of the bullish movement without immediately indicating an overheating of the stock. The monthly volatility of 11.03% reflects moderate fluctuations, while crossing the 11.68 euros threshold places the course near the upper Bollinger band (11.74 euros). This configuration indicates an acceleration of purchases, although the major resistance at 12.28 euros will be a decisive test to validate the continuation of the upward trend that has been engaged for several sessions.
Strategic Continuity at KLM
The group announced earlier this week the renewal of Marjan Rintel's mandate as head of its subsidiary KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for an additional four years, a decision made by the Board of Directors on February 2nd. This strategic continuity at the helm of the Dutch airline should reassure investors about the operational stability of the Franco-Dutch group. Regarding analyst recommendations, opinions remain divided. RBC Capital initiated a target at 11.50 euros on January 21 with a sector performance opinion, representing a slightly negative potential of 1.5% compared to the current level. On the other hand, Davy adopted a neutral stance in mid-January without a specific price target. This divergence reflects the ongoing questions about the airline's ability to maintain its momentum in a still demanding sectoral context, despite the strong annual progression of the stock.
