Ipsos Stock Breaks Through Technical Resistance and Reaches its 200-Day Moving Average
The market research specialist's stock has made significant progress this Friday, trading at 36.72 euros around midday, up 2.57% from the previous close. This bullish push brings the weekly performance to over 4%, in a context of a rebound that began in recent weeks after a challenging year in 2025 for the stock.
Technical Breakthrough
By establishing itself at 36.72 euros, Ipsos now trades above its identified resistance at 35.88 euros, a threshold the stock had not managed to surpass in recent weeks. This breakthrough occurs as the price also reaches its 200-day moving average, located precisely at 36.70 euros, a technical level closely monitored by traders. If the stock manages to maintain above this zone, it would strengthen the recovery momentum that has been underway for three months, during which the stock has gained nearly 15%. However, the RSI, an indicator measuring the relative strength of the movement, is set at 71, slightly above the conventionally set overbought threshold of 70. This level suggests that buying pressure is strong, but a short-term exhaustion is not ruled out if the stock fails to consolidate at its current levels.
Yearly Performance Still Negative Despite Recent Rebound
Despite the ongoing rebound, Ipsos's performance over the year remains significantly negative, with a decline of more than 21%. The stock experienced a marked erosion throughout 2025, in a slowing environment for the research and consulting sector. Therefore, the recent months' progress only partially compensates for the lost ground. The next key event in the company's financial calendar is the publication of the first quarter 2026 results, scheduled for April 16. This milestone will be crucial to assess the group's business trajectory, after a year 2025 where operational performances weighed on the valuation. The general assembly is also scheduled for May 20.
