Renault Shares Rebound 3.3% at Close Despite Lowered Targets
Renault shares closed at 32.90 euros on Wednesday, January 21st at the Paris stock exchange, marking a 3.3% gain from the previous day. This renewed interest occurs in a context marked by the release of the group's 2025 commercial results, while several financial intermediaries have recently lowered their forecasts for the automaker.
A Breather for Renault Shares After a Series of Declines
The rise in share price observed this Wednesday allows Renault shares to recover after several sessions in the red. However, the automaker still shows a decline of 1.59% over seven days and remains down by 31.7% over the year, indicating a challenging underlying dynamic.
Technically, the RSI indicator remains positioned at 24 points, keeping the shares in an oversold zone, which usually suggests a potential short-term rebound if buyers regain control. However, the share price is still significantly below its strategic moving averages: the MM50 is at 35.05 euros and the MM200 at 37.64 euros, signaling a bearish trend that has not yet reversed. The support threshold is established at 31.15 euros, which the share recently tested, while major resistance is outlined at 37.40 euros. The one-month volatility reaches 6.93, reflecting the ongoing tensions surrounding the stock.

Investors have to deal with two recent course target adjustments from leading financial intermediaries. Deutsche Bank lowered its target from 44 to 42 euros this Tuesday while maintaining its hold rating. A few days earlier, Citi also reduced its target from 42 to 38 euros, yet maintained a buy rating, giving it a theoretical potential for a 15.5% increase from the last quoted price.
These revisions come after the Monday release of the group's annual commercial performances, which reported 2.337 million vehicles sold in 2025, marking a growth for the third consecutive year. Analysts, however, mention structural pressures linked to a challenging European environment, intensifying Asian competition, and the impact of the electrification of the range on operational margins. The next release of the 2025 fiscal results is scheduled for February 19.
