Edenred Stock: Surge of 14.93% at Midday After Exceeding Quarterly Expectations
Edenred's stock soared at midday on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, recording a gain of 14.93% to reach 23.94 euros. This remarkable increase propels the stock among the top performers on the Paris market, against a backdrop where the CAC 40 modestly rose by 0.37% to 8,236.71 points. The prepaid service voucher specialist achieved this performance after releasing this morning's business figures for the third quarter, which significantly exceeded analysts' forecasts.
Stock Performance at Midday
Edenred's stock is trading at 23.94 euros at midday, up 14.93% from the previous day's close of 20.83 euros. This increase is accompanied by significant trading volumes, with 0.47% of the capital traded during the day. The stock thus surpasses its previous resistance threshold of 22.77 euros, marking a significant technical breakthrough. Over the week, the stock has now accumulated a gain of 16.95%, reflecting a marked resurgence of interest from market operators. This performance contrasts with the trends observed over longer horizons: the stock remains down by 8.77% over three months and shows a decline of 28.94% over one year. For comparison, the CAC 40 index has recorded a progression of 8.19% over the same annual period, highlighting the relative underperformance of the stock until this rebound. The support level identified at 19.95 euros reflects the selling pressure that had been exerted on the stock in recent months.
Burst Following Quarterly Results
This stock market surge follows the morning release of the third quarter 2025 results. Edenred posted a total revenue of 726 million euros, up 7.3% on a comparable basis, which is 19 million more than the 707 million expected by the consensus of analysts. The operational revenue, the main performance indicator of the group, increased by 8.2% on a comparable basis to reach 667 million euros, surpassing the forecasts of 653 million. This acceleration in growth marks a sequential improvement compared to the first two quarters of the year, where increases were respectively 6.7% and 6.2%. The group reports improved performance in Europe and double-digit growth in Latin America and the rest of the world. The company has confirmed its targets for the fiscal year 2025, aiming for at least a 10% growth in EBITDA on a comparable basis, which is a minimum of about 1.34 billion euros. These forecasts include a negative impact anticipated of 60 million euros in EBITDA for the second half due to new merchant commissioning rules in Italy, particularly the cap at 5% on gift vouchers that came into effect on September 1, 2025.
Technical Perspective
From a technical standpoint, Edenred's stock has crossed its 50-day moving average established at 22.52 euros, signaling a potential short-term trend reversal. However, the stock remains below its 200-day moving average at 27.32 euros, which now represents a medium-term target. The RSI indicator is at 58, reflecting a positive momentum without indicating an overbought situation. The MACD shows a line at -0.29 above its signal line at -0.38, with a positive histogram at 0.10, suggesting the beginning of a bullish divergence. The Bollinger Bands, ranging from 19.84 euros on the lower bound to 21.39 euros on the upper bound, are now surpassed by the current price, indicating increased volatility and a strong amplitude movement. The one-month volatility is established at 7.05, while the ATR is measured at 0.29. The beta coefficient of -0.09 suggests a low correlation with market movements. The gap between the 50 and 200-day moving averages remains significant, at about 4.75 euros, illustrating the distance the stock still needs to cover to regain its previous valuation levels.
