Airbus Stock: Nearly 3% Rebound as Annual Results Approach
Airbus shares showed a notable increase this Monday, February 16, rising 2.8% to 197.80 euros after closing at 192.42 euros on Friday. This rebound comes three days before the announcement of the 2025 annual results of the aerospace manufacturer, scheduled for February 19. The weekly momentum remains positive with a 3.4% gain over seven days, although the stock is still down 4.2% over three months.
Analyst Revisions Ahead of Earnings Report
This Monday, Bernstein revised its price target for Airbus downwards, from 240 to 234 euros, while maintaining its outperformance rating. This adjustment, which still suggests a potential upside of about 18% from the current price of 197.80 euros, reflects a continued confidence in the company's fundamentals, despite a slight recalibration of expectations. The release of the 2025 annual accounts, expected on Wednesday, February 19, will be a crucial test to confirm or refute this trajectory. The financial calendar then schedules the results for the first quarter of 2026 on April 28.
Technical Outlook on Airbus Shares
From a technical standpoint, the Airbus stock is exactly at its 20-day moving average (197.90 euros), a pivotal area that could determine the continuation of the bullish movement. However, the stock remains below its 50-day moving average, positioned at 199.96 euros, which acts as an immediate resistance level. The RSI, at 28, signals a pronounced oversold condition: this indicator, which measures the speed and magnitude of price changes, is significantly below the threshold of 30, typically considered an oversold territory. Such a level may indicate that the selling pressure over the past weeks has been significant, consistent with the 4.2% decline over three months. Over a longer horizon, the 200-day moving average, at 188.51 euros, continues to act as a floor, with the stock trading 5% above this benchmark. The most relevant technical support is at 187.24 euros, close to this long-term average, while the major resistance is set at 220.20 euros. The annual performance remains strong, with an 18.2% increase over the past twelve months.
