FDJ United Shares Surge Over 8% Following 2025 Annual Results Announcement
FDJ United stock soared this Thursday, February 19, marking an increase of 8.14% to 24.70 euros, following the announcement of its 2025 annual results. The company also made changes to its executive committee, including the appointment of a new deputy general manager.
Significant Stock Price Movement on Announcement Day
The marked increase in FDJ United's stock price occurred on the very day the 2025 annual accounts were published. Gross gaming revenue increased by 1% to reach 8,706 million euros, demonstrating resilient business activity. However, revenue fell by 3% to 3,678 million euros due to increased tax pressure on gaming. Tax hikes in France, the Netherlands, and Romania accounted for an additional cost of over 50 million euros, directly impacting consolidated revenues.
Simultaneously, the group announced a reorganization of its operational governance. Pascal Chaffard was promoted to deputy general manager, responsible for the Paris and online games business unit, as well as strategy and operational transformation. Celia Verot has been appointed as the new secretary-general. These appointments accompany the evolution of the group's executive committee.

Today's rebound brings FDJ United's stock price well above its 50-day moving average, which is around 22.98 euros. The stock subsequently broke through the technical resistance identified at 23.50 euros, a threshold that had contained rebound attempts in recent weeks. This breakthrough is a positive short-term signal, especially since the RSI, an indicator measuring buying momentum, is at 51, in a neutral zone, suggesting that the rise is not yet in an overbought situation.
However, it is important to put this session into perspective. Over one year, the stock is still down by 33.78%, and the price remains well below its 200-day moving average, positioned at 27.35 euros. The weekly performance of 8.91% and the 6.01% increase over three months show a recent recovery, amplified by the response to the results announcement. The next financial meeting is scheduled for April 21 with the results of the first quarter of 2026, followed by the general assembly the next day.
