Soitec's Stock Soars by 15%, Setting a New Historical Record at €147
The shares of the semiconductor materials specialist continue their rapid climb this Monday, May 4, 2026. By midday, the stock has gained 15.79% reaching €147, after hitting an intraday high of €147.25, surpassing its previous 2024 record of €146.70. This movement is contrary to the CAC 40, which is down by 0.46% at 8,077.88 points.
An Acceleration that Extends a Historic Rally
Soitec's stock now shows a seven-day increase of 30.49% and nearly 500% over three months. The bullish trend has significantly intensified in recent weeks: the stock had already jumped by 13.97% on April 30 to mark a peak since 2024, following a similar surge on April 22. Over one year, the stock has gained 181.2%. In comparison, STMicroelectronics is up 4.89% during the session while ASML is down 0.98%. The macroeconomic environment remains challenging. The ECB kept its key interest rates unchanged on April 30, while highlighting increased risks to inflation and growth due to the conflict in the Middle East. Brent crude is trading around $108.36 a barrel.
A Stock Well Above its Technical Benchmarks
The price is significantly above the upper Bollinger band set at €119.81, a configuration that signals a marked overbought condition. The RSI at 86 confirms this tension: it is in a zone of extreme overheating, already observed during the previous accelerations of the stock since the beginning of spring. The moving averages are several tens of percent apart, with the MM50 at €56.79 and the MM200 at €39.86, illustrating the extent of the gap between the price and its underlying trends. The previous resistance threshold identified at €112.65 was clearly surpassed, and today's intraday record of €147.25 becomes the new all-time high for the stock. The one-month volatility stands at 24%, a level consistent with the ranges observed since mid-April. The next significant event is scheduled in the company's financial calendar: the publication of the 2026 annual results is expected on Wednesday, May 27, 2026.
