On Thursday, January 22, 2026, Ipsos shares saw a significant increase, closing at 35.14 euros, up by 6.61% from the previous day.

Ipsos Stock Jumps from 32.96 to 35.14 Euros, Offering Substantial Single-Session Gains
Ipsos' share price leaped from 32.96 euros the previous day to 35.14 euros at close, providing shareholders with a substantial gain in a single session. This upward movement occurs while the stock still shows a 3.73% decline over three months and a 24.14% drop over twelve months, reflecting the challenges faced by the group in recent quarters. Graphically, breaking the 50-day moving average at 32.90 euros is seen as an encouraging signal after several weeks of negative trends. The share price is now approaching its resistance threshold set at 34.88 euros, which had previously been a difficult barrier to overcome. The RSI indicator remains at 40, in a neutral zone, leaving room for progression before reaching an overbought situation. In mid-January, the Portzamparc analysis office initiated a buy recommendation on the stock with a target of 55 euros, highlighting the rebound potential of the case despite the earnings warning issued at the end of October. This assessment suggests an appreciation potential of 56.5% compared to the closing level of the day, reflecting analysts' optimism about the prospects offered by the new strategic plan presented during this investor day.
