Getlink Shares Fall 2.18% Amid Declining Truck and Passenger Traffic
Getlink shares dropped 2.18% to €18.81 mid-session, while the SBF 120 declined 0.13%. The stock reacted to the April traffic figures released this morning by the Channel Tunnel operator. However, the stock still maintains a lead of 8.42% over three months and 9.55% over a year.
April Traffic Disappoints, Passenger Numbers Down 10%
According to the press release published this morning, LeShuttle Freight transported 2% fewer trucks in April 2026 compared to April 2025. The passenger segment saw a more significant decline, down 10%, due to the shift in British school holidays this year. This monthly report moderates the message sent at the end of April when the group announced a quarterly revenue increase of 15% to 371 million euros, driven by ElecLink. The contrast between ElecLink's momentum and Eurotunnel's stagnation remains central to the discussion. Already in March, tourism had increased by 8% while truck traffic had decreased by 1%, indicating that the freight deterioration is not new.
Current Retreat Brings Share Price to €18.81, Just Above Its 50-Day Moving Average
Today's decline brings the share price to €18.81, just above its 50-day moving average. The stock is approaching the lower Bollinger band at €18.75, reflecting selling pressure in the session after several weeks of gains. The RSI at 56 remains neutral and does not indicate exhaustion. The technical support identified at €17.34 remains more than 7% away from current levels. The 200-day moving average, at €16.62, confirms a positive medium-term orientation, despite today's consolidation. The stock ranks 110th in the SBF 120 this Thursday, among the index's declining values. Next key date on the calendar: the general meeting of shareholders, scheduled for May 27, 2026, followed by the half-year results on July 23.
