Jefferies Lowers Price Target on Rémy Cointreau
This Monday, American bank Jefferies updated its price target on Rémy Cointreau, lowering it from 50 to 48 euros, while maintaining a 'accumulate' recommendation. Given the current price of 38.80 euros, this revised target suggests a potential revaluation of about 24%. This downgrade comes as the stock has declined by 6.1% over three months and more than 11% over a year, indicating a still unfavorable underlying trend. The release of the fourth quarter 2025-2026 activity, scheduled for April 30, followed by the annual results on June 4, will be the next key events for the Cognac-based group. These dates could provide analysts with new insights into the commercial dynamics, particularly in the United States and Asia, two strategic markets for the cognac division.
Rémy Cointreau Trades Below Its 50-Day Moving Average
In Monday's session, Rémy Cointreau traded at 38.80 euros, down 2.07% from last Friday's close of 39.62 euros. This decline brings the stock below its 50-day moving average of 39.74 euros, a technical signal indicating a weakening of the rebound observed over the last seven days (+4.41%). The 200-day moving average, significantly higher at 44.44 euros, confirms that the long-term trend remains downward. Regarding Bollinger Bands, the price is moving in the upper part of the channel, at 90% of the upper limit set at 39.34 euros, which signals a potential overbought zone. In other words, the stock is technically tense after its recent rise from the lower bound (34.04 euros). The nearest support threshold is at 35.18 euros. In a market context weakened by the surge in oil prices above 100 dollars a barrel, non-essential consumer goods like spirits are experiencing profit-taking, similar to Unilever (-1.79%) and L'Oréal (-0.81%) during the session.
