Sodexo Shares Decline 2% Ahead of Quarterly Results
The stock of the collective catering group fell sharply this Thursday in a downward trending Parisian market. Sodexo is trading at 45.24 euros, down 2.04% from the previous day's close, while the CAC 40 is down 0.81% during the session. This decline comes twenty-four hours before the announcement of the revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, scheduled for April 10.
The previous day, Oddo BHF lowered its target on Sodexo from 60 to 55 euros, while maintaining its 'outperform' recommendation. Despite the revised target, there remains a potential for revaluation of over 21% compared to the current price. Oddo BHF's adjustment comes ahead of tomorrow's quarterly release, an event that could provide better visibility on the group's business dynamics. Over the past year, the stock has declined by 18.04%, while its three-month performance remains positive at +4.24%, indicating a recent rebound after a prolonged correction phase.

Technically, the stock is priced at 45.24 euros, above its 50-day moving average of 44.85 euros, confirming the bullish trend that began in recent weeks. However, the 200-day moving average, at 48.35 euros, is still significantly above the current price, indicating that the long-term momentum remains weak. Moreover, the Bollinger bands place the stock at the upper end of their range (80%), close to the upper limit of 46.21 euros, suggesting a potential overbought zone after the recent rebound. Today's decline brings the price below this threshold. The next technical support is at 41.48 euros, while the resistance to watch is at 47.36 euros. The market context remains tense, with the CAC 40 trading lower at 8,196.75 points in a session characterized by high volatility.
