Société Générale Shares Dip 0.57% at the Close of January 12

Société Générale's stock ended the session on Monday, January 12, at 69.20 euros, down 0.57% from the previous closing of 69.60 euros. The volumes accounted for 0.31% of the capital traded, indicating moderate activity without significant selling pressure. This slight contraction is part of a tense technical context: the price is now just cents away from its key resistance at 70.38 euros, a breakthrough that failed the previous day. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains at 65, a neutral zone that reflects a bullish momentum intact but without speculative excess, leaving the door open for a resumption of the upward movement.
The stock still maintains a favorable underlying dynamic: up 28.48% over three months and 153.9% over a year, it benefits from a strong position above all its moving averages. The MM50 at 61.79 euros remains a distant dynamic support, reinforcing the medium-term bullish trend.

The fundamental environment remains supportive for Société Générale. On January 7, Rothschild & Co Redburn initiated a buy recommendation with a target price set at 85 euros, representing a potential upside of 22.8% from the current price. This optimistic outlook is added to that of Deutsche Bank, which had raised its target to 68 euros at the end of November, now surpassed. These revisions reflect the market's confidence in the group's trajectory, driven by the third quarter 2025 results published in November. The quarterly net profit then jumped 11.3% to 1.52 billion euros, far exceeding analysts' expectations.
Moreover, the one billion euro share buyback program announced in mid-November 2025 continues to technically support the stock by reducing the float. 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 permanently surpass the 70 euro threshold.
