Air France-KLM Stock: UBS Significantly Raises Price Target, Shares Advance
Air France-KLM shares are up this Wednesday, February 25, at 12.92 euros, driven by a 1.61% increase from the previous day. The stock is benefiting from favorable momentum, with a gain of nearly 7.5% over seven days and more than 23% over three months. The release of new analyst recommendations supports this dynamic.
The session is marked by a significant revision of UBS's price target on Air France-KLM, which has been raised from 11.05 euros to 13.95 euros, representing a revaluation of over 26%. The Swiss bank accompanies this new target with a 'neutral' recommendation, indicating a potential upside of about 8% from the current price of 12.92 euros. Meanwhile, Goodbody CF adjusted its target from 11.80 euros to 12.40 euros the previous day, while maintaining a 'hold' rating. This target is slightly below the current day's price, reflecting a more measured view from this broker. Both revisions come as the stock displays a remarkable annual performance of nearly 49%, highlighting the progress made by the Franco-Dutch airline over the past twelve months.

From a technical standpoint, the price of Air France-KLM is significantly above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which are located at 11.49 euros and 11.16 euros, respectively. This gap indicates a well-established upward trend in recent weeks, with the stock progressively widening the distance from these medium and long-term benchmarks.
