S.E.B. Stock Plummets 6.26% to Yearly Low
The stock of the global leader in small household appliances fell by 6.26% this Tuesday, closing at €46.74, extending a downward trend that began a week ago. This latest drop comes amid a series of lowered target prices by several analysts, following an earnings warning issued in early October.
Immediate Impact of Revised Target Prices
This Tuesday's decline follows directly from the target price revision released in the morning by investment bank Berenberg, which lowered its target from €77 to €63, a level still 35% above the current price but reflecting a deterioration in outlook. This revision comes a week after UBS's adjustment, which lowered its target from €105 to €75 on October 7, following the Lyon-based group's second earnings warning. Trading volumes remained high at 0.39% of capital, indicating continuous selling pressure on the stock, although the CAC 40 itself closed slightly down by 0.18%.
Cumulative Losses Since October 6 Announcement
Since the October 6 announcement, which saw the group revise its revenue and operating income targets downward for the second time this year, the stock has been accumulating losses. Over five sessions, the drop now amounts to 10.11%, with the price successively breaking through the €50 and then €48 thresholds. Over a month, the correction totals 21.53%, and over the year 2025, the decline reaches 46.15%, bringing the stock to levels not seen for several years. This downturn contrasts sharply with the relative stability of the CAC 40, which has gained 4.51% over the past twelve months.
Technical Analysis Confirms Intensity of Downtrend
Technical analysis confirms the intensity of the current bearish phase. The Relative Strength Index stands at 26, a level that places the stock in an oversold zone and suggests that the selling movement may have reached a temporary point of exhaustion, although it does not guarantee an immediate rebound. The price has broken its technical support at €49.86, corresponding to the previous day's closing level, and is now trading well below its 50-day (€62.09) and 200-day (€78.60) moving averages, indicating a structurally weakened trend in the medium and long term. The one-month volatility is at 25.76, a very high level reflecting the magnitude of recent fluctuations and the uncertainty surrounding the case. The Bollinger Bands, ranging from €49.20 to €70.08, frame a wide interval that reflects this high dispersion of prices, with the stock currently near the lower boundary.
