Sopra Steria Stock Rises 3.2%, Supported by Two Exclusive Acquisition Negotiations
Sopra Steria's stock continues its upward momentum at midday, reaching a new technical milestone. The stock extends the recovery that began in late April, amid announced external growth operations currently in exclusive negotiations or discussions. The Paris market is also trending upwards.
Breaking the €155.70 Resistance and Technical Acceleration
Sopra Steria's stock rose by 3.19% to €155.20 during the session, after hitting an intraday high of €156.70. The stock broke through its €155.70 resistance before slightly falling below it, indicating a test of the zone. The weekly progress stands at 9.14% and the monthly gain at 17.13%. The price is now well above its three moving averages, with a gap of +11.28% compared to the MM20 (€139.47) and +20.35% against the MM50 (€128.96). An RSI at 76 indicates a significant overbought condition, following the rally of the past few weeks. The stock is among the top gainers in the SBF 120, which itself has risen by 0.57%. According to the consensus of analysts surveyed, the stock is trading at approximately 8.7 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year and 8.1 times those of the next fiscal year, based on an estimated EPS growth of 7.3% from one year to the next.

The movement extends the upward trend that began after the publication of the quarterly revenue at the end of April. Since then, the group has announced entering exclusive negotiations to acquire the Manufacturing Engineering branch of Daher Industrial Services, focused on aerospace manufacturing engineering. A week earlier, the group had also started discussions to acquire Digital Product Simulation, in order to strengthen its product lifecycle management (PLM) offerings. These two operations aim to bolster the industrial and technological positioning of the Annecy-based group led by Rajesh Krishnamurthy. According to reviewed statements, the cumulative net short positions reach 3.27% of the capital, held by four funds, an increase of 0.20 points over thirty days. The level remains high and indicates that some institutional players maintain a selling position on the stock, despite the rebound. This point should be monitored without overinterpretation, as the monthly progress remains contained. In the shorter term, the holding of the €155.70 zone will be crucial to confirm the technical breakout initiated during the session.
