Edenred Stock: 4% Drop Following Regulatory Decision in Brazil
Edenred's stock significantly declined this Wednesday morning, dropping over 4% to 18.16 euros, following the release of its annual results for 2025. This decrease occurs in a context marked by an unfavorable judicial decision in Brazil concerning the regulation of meal vouchers, announced by the group on the same day.
The president of the Brazilian federal court has annulled the suspension that Edenred had benefited from since January 20th, thus confirming the immediate applicability of the presidential decree from November 12, 2025, regarding meal and food vouchers. This decision follows an appeal filed by the Brazilian government and forces the French group to comply with the new regulations within a very short deadline. Brazil represents a strategic market for Edenred in the employee benefits segment. The enactment of this decree could alter the group's operational conditions in the country, as the stock has already seen a decline of more than 40% over the year. The monthly volatility, measured at 9.50, reflects a significant fluctuation range around the current price.

The day before, Edenred had communicated about achieving its financial targets for the fiscal year 2025, while presenting its strategic plan Amplify25-28, centered around three growth axes. The group also announced an enhancement of its shareholder distribution policy. However, these announcements did not prevent selling pressure this Wednesday, as the Brazilian issue took precedence. Technically, the stock price is exactly at its 50-day moving average (18.16 euros), a level that had previously served as a support. However, the 200-day moving average, at 22.33 euros, remains far off and signals a long-term downward trend. The next support level is identified at 17.09 euros, a zone that could be tested if the decline continues. The group's general assembly is scheduled for May 7th, while the revenue for the first quarter is expected to be published on April 23rd.
