Ipsos Shares Drop 2.5% and Threaten Key Support at €36.14

Ipsos Shares Experience a Decline Amid Market Volatility

Ipsos shares drop by 2.48% to €36.18, weighed down by a SBF 120 which is down by 0.72% and a CAC 40 that retreated by 0.71%. The session unfolds in a climate of increased volatility, with the VIX jumping nearly 18% to 19.79 points, amid a hardening stance from major central banks and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. The stock is approaching its support at €36.14, now only a few cents away, after a week marked by a decline of 6.46%. Over three months, however, the performance remains positive (+7.87%), a legacy of the rebound that began in the spring. The situation has deteriorated: the price is now below the MM20 (€38.34, gap -5.63%) and MM50 (€37.06, gap -2.37%), while still above the MM200 at €34.83, which offers a margin of around 3.9%. The RSI at 43 remains neutral, with no marked oversold signal.

Moderate Valuation and a Strategic Plan Continuing to Drive Group Communication

Based on the consensus of analysts surveyed, the stock is trading at about 7 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year and 6.4 times those of the following year, with an anticipated growth in earnings per share of 9.7% from one year to the next. Over a rolling year, the stock still shows a decline of 17%. In terms of governance, the group has made multiple announcements in recent weeks as part of its Horizons plan: Alexandre Guerin was appointed Deputy CEO for Performance (announcement of June 19), accompanied by a reorganization of French and Swiss operations. Previously, on June 5, Marion Beyret took over as head of communications, and the creation of an independent advisory council chaired by Eileen Campbell was announced at the end of May. On the product side, the launch of Product Studio at the end of May aims for a 35% speed gain in product testing. The downward crossing of the support at €36.14 remains the technical level to watch in the coming sessions.
