Euronext Shares Surge Nearly 3% Driven by Strong Annual Results
Euronext shares saw a sharp increase this Friday morning, reaching 125.80 euros, up by 2.69% from the previous day. This surge follows the announcement of the pan-European exchange operator's annual results for 2025, which reported double-digit revenue growth. The stock is now approaching a major technical threshold.
Strong Annual Results Propel Euronext
The upward momentum observed this morning in Euronext shares directly echoes the announcement on Thursday, February 18, of the group's annual accounts. The exchange operator recorded an underlying revenue of 1,823.2 million euros in 2025, up by 12.1% year-on-year. This performance was fueled by the growth of non-volatility related services and the integration of Admincontrol and the Athex group, two strategic acquisitions. The rebound in the stock contrasts with a recently rather flat trajectory. Over three months, the performance remains almost unchanged at -0.4%, while the annual growth reached 4.4%. The acceleration of operational growth thus seems to provide a catalyst that was missing in the group's stock market journey. The next financial appointment is scheduled for May 19, the date of publication of the results for the first quarter of 2026, followed by the general assembly the next day.
Technical Indicators Suggest Short-Term Positive Outlook
With a price at 125.80 euros, Euronext is now trading above its 50-day moving average, which stands at 123.01 euros, having recently crossed it upward after flirting with it in the last few sessions. This crossover constitutes a positive short-term technical signal, especially since the stock had previously reclaimed its 20-day moving average (120.56 euros) during the week. These successive crossings suggest a short-term trend reversal, although the price remains significantly below the 200-day moving average, set at 133.92 euros, indicating a still fragile long-term trend. Furthermore, the stock is approaching the resistance identified at 126.50 euros. A sustained breach of this threshold could pave the way for a continuation of the movement. The RSI, at 58, remains in the neutral zone, indicating that the stock is not in an overbought situation despite the session's strength. The contained monthly volatility, at 8.36, confirms that the progression is occurring in a relatively orderly framework.
