Bouygues Stock: Shares Continue to Climb to Levels Not Seen Since 2008
This Thursday morning, Bouygues' stock price reached 49.78 euros, nearing its highest level since the aftermath of the subprime crisis. The stock has been on a sustained upward trend for several weeks. The publication of the annual 2025 results, scheduled for February 26, is the next major event for the diversified group.
Recent Peak and Technical Indicators
This Thursday, Bouygues stock hit a new peak, crossing the threshold of 49.94 euros before slightly receding. This level now represents the most immediate resistance for the stock. The recent trajectory of the stock price shows a marked acceleration: it has risen 6.35% over seven days, 22.13% over three months, and nearly 59% over one year. The stock is significantly above its 50-day moving average of 44.96 euros, indicating a well-established bullish momentum. However, the RSI, an indicator measuring the speed of price movements, stands at 82, a level that signals an overbought zone. Historically, such a reading can precede consolidation phases, yet it does not invalidate the underlying trend. The price also exceeds the upper Bollinger band (48.92 euros), reinforcing this observation of short-term technical tension.
Analyst Recommendation and Upcoming Financial Disclosures
On the eve of this new record, BNP Paribas Exane initiated an 'outperform' rating on the stock, with a price target set at 55.00 euros. This target represents a potential upside of about 10.5% from the current price of 49.78 euros. This position comes at a particular time, as the conglomerate is set to unveil its 2025 annual accounts on February 26. The group’s diversification – operating in construction, media through TF1, telecommunications via Bouygues Telecom, and energy-services through Equans – provides a broad revenue base that analysts might reassess in light of the upcoming results. The general assembly will then be held on April 23, followed by the publication of the first quarter 2026 figures on May 7. These milestones will mark the coming weeks and provide new elements for assessing the operational trajectory of the group led by Martin Bouygues.
