Schneider Electric Stock: Over 3% Increase and Breakthrough Technical Resistance
Schneider Electric's stock significantly advanced this Wednesday, showing a gain of 3.63% at 266.70 euros by midday. The stock benefits from recent target price upgrades by two major investment banks. This momentum is part of a bullish movement that has started several weeks ago, with a performance of nearly 7% over seven days.
Schneider Electric's stock is benefiting from a dual catalyst from analysts. Morgan Stanley raised its target price yesterday from 275 to 290 euros, while reiterating its 'overweight' recommendation. The day before, Deutsche Bank had raised its target from 260 to 275 euros, accompanying this revision with a 'buy' rating. At the current price of 266.70 euros, Morgan Stanley's target implies a potential upside of about 8.7%, while Deutsche Bank's target suggests a progression of about 3.1%. These adjustments come two weeks before the announcement of the 2025 annual results, scheduled for February 26, an event likely to provide new insights into the trajectory of the group specializing in energy management and industrial automation.

Technically, today's session marks a notable event: the price of 266.70 euros significantly exceeds the resistance threshold set at 258.75 euros, a level that had contained previous rebound attempts. This breakthrough is accompanied by the stock's positioning well above its 50-day moving average, which is at 237 euros, indicating an acceleration of the short-term bullish trend. However, the RSI indicator reaches 90, a level that signals a marked overbought zone. This ratio, which measures the speed and magnitude of recent movements, far exceeds the conventional threshold of 70 usually considered the start of technical overheating. The gap between the current price and the upper Bollinger band, set at 256.96 euros, further confirms this pronounced bullish extension. Schneider Electric's stock now shows a gain of more than 14% over three months and 10% over a year.
