Session Close Analysis
Société Générale's shares closed the session on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at €69.68, marking an increase of 0.69% from the previous day. This growth is part of a particularly favorable underlying trend, with an annual performance reaching 155.7% and a rise of 29.37% over three months. The price now remains just cents away from its major resistance at €70.38, a level that represents a significant psychological and technical threshold for the continuation of the upward movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a reading of 58, a neutral zone indicating balanced momentum without speculative excess or notable fatigue. This setup leaves the door open for a continued rise towards a sustainable breach of the €70 threshold. The MACD, with a line at 2.16 and a signal at 2.34, presents a slight bearish crossover indicating a short-term technical consolidation, without challenging the structural bullish trend. The stock also benefits from a strong position above all its moving averages: the MM50 at €62.08 and the MM200 at €53.33 confirm the robustness of the medium and long-term dynamics.
Progress of the Share Buyback Program
As of January 9, 2026, Société Générale has repurchased 1.7% of its capital, thus achieving 80.9% of the previously announced €1 billion share buyback. This information, made public on January 12, reflects the rapid progress of the program launched in November 2025, which is now nearing completion. This mechanism continues to technically support the stock by reducing the available float in the market, while reflecting the management's confidence in the group's prospects and its ability to generate surplus capital. The fundamental environment remains supportive for Société Générale, bolstered by positive analyst recommendations. Rothschild & Co Redburn initiated coverage on January 7 with a buy rating and a price target of €85, representing a potential upside of 22% from the current level. This optimistic outlook is complemented by that of Deutsche Bank, which had raised its target to €68 at the end of November, now significantly exceeded. With the publication of the 2025 annual results scheduled for February 6, investors have a short-term catalyst that could reignite the upward momentum and allow the stock to durably surpass the symbolic threshold of €70.
