Safran Shares Hit a New All-Time High Before Slightly Retreating
This Tuesday, Safran recorded a new all-time high during the session, briefly surpassing the previous record of €338.20 set the day before. However, the aerospace engine manufacturer's stock is currently down by 0.71% at €335.80 in mid-morning trading, following a profit-taking movement after a week of strong gains. Two research firms have simultaneously raised their price targets on the stock.
The recent bullish momentum of Safran is notably supported by favorable revisions from research firms. Vertical Research Partners raised its price target on Sunday from €382 to €416, while maintaining its buy recommendation. This new target implies a potential upside of about 23.9% from the current price of €335.80. Rothschild & Co Redburn also revised its target upwards, from €360 to €395, with an unchanged buy recommendation. This adjustment corresponds to a potential increase of about 17.6%. These simultaneous revisions reflect a strengthened appreciation of the group's operational prospects, with the next quarterly results expected on April 23.

Safran's stock performance remains remarkable: the stock has gained 6.81% over the past seven days and 36.5% over the year. During the session, the price crossed its previous all-time high of €338.20 before retreating. This level now represents a major resistance to watch in the upcoming sessions. Technically, the stock is significantly above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, located at €306.52 and €288.74 respectively, reflecting a well-established bullish trend across various timeframes. However, the RSI, an indicator measuring the speed and magnitude of price movements, is currently at 71, above the overbought threshold of 70. This level suggests that the recent acceleration might lead to a short-term consolidation phase, without undermining the underlying trend.
