Legrand Stock Drops to €148 Ahead of Highly Anticipated Results

A Decline That Does Not Undermine an Outstanding Annual Dynamic

During the session, Legrand drops 1.6%, following a CAC 40 that is down by 0.23%. The SBF 120 shows a similar decline. Among sector-related stocks, Schneider Electric loses 1.47% while Airbus is down by 0.31%. Despite today's unfavorable session, the medium and long-term trajectory remains solid: the stock has risen by 12.5% over three months and more than 52% over a year. The price is currently above its 20, 50, and 200-day moving averages (respectively €143.42, €143.68, and €135.54), indicating a well-established upward trend. The RSI, at 63, is in a neutral to slightly positive zone, with no immediate overbought signal. The financial calendar is busy in the coming weeks: in addition to the quarterly results on May 7, the general assembly is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27, followed by the dividend detachment on Friday, May 29. The half-year results are expected on Wednesday, July 29.

A Nearby Resistance Zone That Captures Attention

Technically, the price of €148.05 is close to the identified resistance at €152.50, a threshold that has not yet been surpassed. The most relevant support is at €128.85, nearly 13% below the current level. Within the Bollinger Bands, the price moves in the upper part of the channel (64% of the band), between the lower bound at €127.36 and the upper bound at €159.48, without reaching extreme levels indicative of overbuying. The publication of the first quarter results, in ten days, could be the catalyst needed to test or exceed this resistance. The group, which operates in the markets for electrical equipment and digital networks, had already benefited in recent months from a renewed interest linked to investments in data centers and electrification. The upcoming meeting on May 7 will be crucial to assess whether the group's organic growth remains in line with market expectations.
