French laser technology specialist Lumibird soared by more than 10% this Monday morning, surpassing a peak not seen in twenty years. The stock is trading at €25.95, exceeding the previous historical high of €25.66 from April 4, 2006, amidst a session where the CAC 40 is down by 1.13%.
Historic High for Lumibird
This Monday, Lumibird reached a new historical high at €25.95, surpassing the previous record of €25.66 set in April 2006. The increase amounts to 10.43% compared to last Friday's closing at €23.50. Over a week, the gain is 17.42%, and the performance over one year peaks at 186.4%. From a technical analysis perspective, the price is significantly above the upper Bollinger band limit of €23.60, indicating a potential overbought signal. The 50-day moving average, at €22.33, remains well below the current price, confirming the strength of the bullish trend initiated in recent weeks. The stock broke through its technical resistance identified at €24.50 this morning, paving the way for uncharted price territory. This movement occurs contrary to the Parisian market trend: the CAC 40 is down 1.13% during the session while the SBF 120 is down 1.08%. Comparable values in the aerospace and defense sector also show declines, with Airbus at -1.91% and Safran at -2.38%.

This Monday, Stifel initiated coverage of Lumibird with a 'buy' recommendation and a price target set at €30.00.
