The SBF 120, the benchmark index for the stock, fell by 0.22% to 6,291.86 points during the session.

Technical Publication on SWIR Cameras
This Thursday, Exosens released a technical document focused on its SWIR (Short-Wave Infrared) cameras designed for industrial and food sorting. The technology operates in the 900-1700 nm range and allows for the detection of defects and contaminations invisible to conventional sensors, by relying on the molecular signatures of materials. This release is part of the company's diversification strategy beyond just defense applications, which have supported its valuation since its IPO. As a reminder, the first quarter revenue published at the end of April showed an increase of 19.7% to €122.6 million, with an adjusted gross margin progressing by 20.1%. The Detection & Imaging segment, to which SWIR cameras belong, had shown a decrease in its margin rate, offset by amplification.
Price Below 50-Day Average, Upcoming Key Dates Set
The stock is currently priced at €63.40, slightly below the 50-day moving average of €64.40. The 200-day moving average remains much lower at €50.83, indicating a still very bullish long-term trend over six months. The RSI at 51 indicates neither overbought nor oversold conditions. The stock is in the lower part of the Bollinger Bands, with the lower boundary at €61.73. The identified support at €57.50 remains distant. Regarding analyst recommendations, Deutsche Bank had raised its target in mid-April. Three key dates are on the calendar: the general assembly 2026 on May 22, the half-year results on July 28, and the third quarter revenue on October 27. Today's session is part of a consolidation after the peak of €66.30 reached on May 4.
