Airbus Stock Climbs 2% at Close Following 2025 Deliveries
Airbus shares closed up 2.08% at 213.75 euros this Wednesday, January 7, continuing its recent upward trend with a 7.44% increase over the week. The stock is now very close to its resistance threshold of 214.15 euros, which it has not surpassed during the session. Trading volumes remained moderate, with only 0.11% of the capital traded.
Technical Indicators and Market Recommendations
From a technical perspective, the RSI indicator has risen to 76 points, indicating an overbought zone that might prompt some investors to exercise caution in the short term. However, the stock price remains well above its reference moving averages, at 202.50 euros for the MM50 and 180.80 euros for the MM200, confirming the strength of the bullish trend. On the previous day, January 6, Bernstein reaffirmed its outperformance rating on the stock, while adjusting its price target from 245 to 240 euros, representing a potential upside of 12% from the current level.
Recent Performance and Future Prospects
The renewed interest in the stock is largely due to the recent announcement of the group's commercial performance. According to several consistent sources, Airbus delivered 793 aircraft in 2025, slightly exceeding its revised target of 790 aircraft despite production challenges at the end of the year. This result, achieved through intense acceleration in December, will be officially confirmed on January 12 during the publication of audited data. Initially, the manufacturer aimed for 820 deliveries, but had to revise this down in early December due to a quality issue detected on fuselage panels of the A320 family. This performance reassures markets of Airbus's ability to meet its commitments despite industrial uncertainties. The group has also recently secured significant orders, including 60 A320neo from Air China and 30 aircraft from the leasing company CALC. Oddo BHF even anticipates a possible favorable surprise on cash flow during the annual results, projecting 911 deliveries in 2026, supported by a gradual improvement in the supply chain.
