Capgemini share falls nearly 3% and gives back previous day's gains
After a marked rebound the previous day, Capgemini surrenders part of its gains and finds itself at the bottom of the CAC 40 during this Tuesday, September 15 trading session. The stock is moving in a volatile market environment, marked by a spike in volatility and anticipation of a Fed rate hike on Wednesday.
A decline of 2.83% that brings the stock to its 20-day moving average, in a market under pressure
The Capgemini share falls 2.83% during the session, to €106.60, erasing much of the more than 4% jump recorded on Monday following the announcement of the sale of its American federal subsidiary to ITC Federal. The stock is now at the level of its twenty-day moving average, set at €107.10, with a gap of only -0.47%. This proximity is being closely monitored: a drop below this threshold would reopen the path toward the support level at €101.15, already tested mid-September during a difficult session for the security.
The RSI at 58 remains in the neutral-high zone and does not indicate immediate exhaustion of the selling movement, especially as the VIX jumps 13.19% during the session, signaling a clear rise in market tensions. In this context, resistance at €111.40 appears distant, with the price also remaining below the 200-day moving average at €110.66, representing a negative gap of 3.67%.
CIC Market Solutions maintains buy rating with a €170 target, while half-year guidance remains solid
On the analyst consensus front, CIC Market Solutions reiterated its buy opinion on the stock on Monday, September 14, with an unchanged price target of €170. At the current level of €106.60, this scenario implies an upside potential of nearly 60%. When the group published its first-half 2026 results on July 30, it had raised its growth target at constant exchange rates for the full year, now aiming for approximately +8.5% to +9.0%.
This momentum is reflected in the valuation: according to the analyst consensus tracked, the stock is trading at approximately 8.4 times the expected earnings for the current fiscal year, and 7.8 times those for the following fiscal year, with earnings per share growth projected at +8.2%. The outcome of Wednesday's session on American monetary policy, where the Fed is widely expected to raise rates for the first time in three years, constitutes a market parameter weighing on all technology growth stocks at midday, Capgemini included.
