The share price of the automotive component specialist reached 62.05 euros, marking a 10.8% increase from the previous day's close of 56 euros.

Melexis Shares Climb to 62.05 Euros by Mid-Day Thursday
Melexis shares displayed a growth to 62.05 euros by mid-day this Thursday, after opening at 56 euros. This performance is part of an impressive weekly dynamic, with the stock having jumped 21.19% over the last seven days. However, there is still a 4.76% decline over three months, although the stock has significantly outperformed the CAC 40 over the past year, with a 13.13% increase compared to 11.83% for the Parisian index. The Belgian semiconductor specialist for automotive suppliers is experiencing a period of high volatility. The stock has fluctuated within an annual range between 42.34 euros and 76.50 euros, illustrating the extent of variations since the beginning of the year. However, trading volumes remain moderate with a capital share of 0.36% this Thursday, suggesting that this movement might be driven by a limited number of operators. The resistance threshold is set at approximately 65.20 euros, about 5% above the current price.
Technical Analysis Reveals a Mixed Situation for the Stock
Technical analysis confirms a mixed situation for the stock. The 50-day moving average stands at 60.39 euros, slightly below the current price of 62.05 euros, indicating a recent exit from a consolidation phase. The RSI at 49 suggests a neutral position, neither in an overbought nor oversold zone, leaving room for a continuation of the upward movement. The MACD histogram shows a positive value of 0.60, with a MACD line at -1.91 and a signal line at -2.51. This setup suggests the beginning of a technical reversal, with the MACD line moving towards its signal line, typically a short-term buy signal. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) at 0.13 confirms positive, albeit moderate, buying flows. The one-month volatility is at 9.27%, reflecting the significant fluctuations recently observed in the stock.
Mixed Sectoral Context for European Semiconductors
The sectoral context remains mixed for European semiconductors. The automotive semiconductor sector has returned to positive growth after seven consecutive quarters of decline, providing a more favorable environment for players like Melexis. Morgan Stanley upgraded Melexis to 'Overweight,' citing signs of improvement in the automotive semiconductor cycle, while noting that the planned manufacturing project in China for 2026 shields the group from local chip ambitions. Without an immediate identifiable catalyst today, the rise could be explained by technical repositionings or investor anticipations about the sector. The support level is at 49.86 euros, offering a safety margin in case of a downturn. Investors will monitor the stock's progress towards the 65.20 euros resistance in the upcoming sessions, a threshold that could validate or invalidate the continuation of this technical rebound.
