Safran stock sets historic record at €361.50 during trading session
The aerospace engine manufacturer erases its previous all-time high during Wednesday's trading session, bringing an exceptional quarterly rally to its peak. The gain remains modest compared to the previous day, but the intraday breakthrough marks a milestone in the bullish momentum of the stock since spring.
Historic record posted as stock approaches €358.10 resistance level
Safran stock is trading at €357.70 during Wednesday's session, up 0.36% compared to Tuesday's close at €356.40. This current price is below the intraday peak: the stock touched €361.50 during the session, thereby breaking its previous historic record of €361.40. Today's movement is part of a remarkable quarterly dynamic, with the stock having gained nearly 35% over three months and more than 4% over the past week alone. The current price is testing against the resistance identified at €358.10, which the stock briefly surpassed at the intraday high before pulling back slightly.
This decline from today's peak illustrates the technical resistance of this zone, tested for the first time at the absolute record level. Over one year, the gain exceeds 24%, which gives the stock solid underlying momentum. The CAC 40 is evolving virtually flat during the session, which makes the breakthrough of the record even more striking in the Paris market landscape.
UBS raises its price target to €370 as RSI signals early overbought conditions
UBS revised its outlook on Safran upward, raising its price target from €360 to €370 on August 3, while maintaining a "market perform" rating. This target exceeds the current price of €357.70 by approximately 3.4%, but remains below today's intraday record. The revision comes just days after the bullish sessions at the end of July that had brought the stock closer to its all-time high. On the indicators side, the RSI at 66 is approaching the overbought threshold of 70, signaling that buying pressure is intensifying but that the margin for short-term gains is narrowing.
The stock is trading well above its three moving averages: it exceeds the 20-day MA at €334.22 by more than 7%, the 50-day MA at €326.33 by nearly 10% and the 200-day MA at €308.39 by nearly 16%. This configuration demonstrates a well-established uptrend across all timeframes. The MACD remains positive, with a histogram at 2.51 that confirms the momentum of the move. The next level to watch remains the holding of the €358.10 resistance at the close.
