Societe Generale Stock: Shares Climb Following Deutsche Bank's Target Upgrade
Societe Generale's stock is slightly up this Thursday, February 19, at 73.08 euros, following a target price upgrade by Deutsche Bank earlier in the week. The stock has shown a nearly 30% increase over three months and over 92% over the past year, confirming a strong upward trend for several quarters.
On Tuesday, February 17, German bank Deutsche Bank raised its target price on Societe Generale from 75 to 78 euros, while maintaining a 'buy' recommendation. This new target represents a potential increase of about 6.7% from the current price of 73.08 euros. This move comes as the French banking group has seen significant revaluation in recent months, driven by an improvement in fundamentals and rising interest rates in Europe. The stock's trajectory, which has almost doubled in a year, reflects a favorable repositioning in the European banking landscape.

Technically, Societe Generale is trading well above its 50-day moving average, set at 69.41 euros, indicating a consistently upward underlying trend. The gap with the 200-day moving average, which stands at 57.31 euros, highlights the extent of the bullish movement over the long term. The RSI, an indicator measuring the relative strength of the stock, is at 53, in a neutral zone, suggesting no immediate pressure from overbuying or overselling.
