Stellantis Shares Climb 2.87% to €6.67 Despite HSBC Downgrade
Automaker Stellantis gains 2.87% to €6.67 in mid-afternoon trading, with the CAC 40 up by 0.77%. The stock is among the top gainers in the CAC 40, just behind STMicroelectronics. This rise occurs on the same day HSBC lowered its price target from €6.50 to €5.50, while maintaining a 'hold' rating.
HSBC Lowers Target to €5.50 but Stock Rebounds Ahead of Investor Day
HSBC has revised its price target on Stellantis from €6.50 to €5.50, accompanying this revision with a 'hold' recommendation. At the current price of €6.67, the new target from the British bank implies a potential downside of about 17.5%. Yet, the stock disregards this view and advances during the session. The rebound comes a week before the Stellantis Investor Day scheduled for May 21, 2026, an event where the group is set to present its strategic directions. The fundamental context remains mixed: during the first quarter of 2026 (April 30, 2026), the automaker returned to profit with a net result of 400 million euros and revenues up by 6% to 38.1 billion euros. The valuation reflects this context: based on the consensus of analysts, the stock is trading at about 7.5 times the expected earnings for the current fiscal year and 4.2 times those of the next fiscal year, against a sector average of 14.6 times.
Stock Moves Above its MM50 but Remains Heavily Detached Over One Year
At €6.67, the price is below the MM20 (€6.74) but above the MM50 (€6.38), a gap of +4.55%. The MM200 at €7.97 remains out of reach, with the price moving 16.31% below this average, indicating that the underlying trend remains bearish. The RSI at 48 remains neutral and the Bollinger Bands place the stock midway, at 46% of the range. The performance over one year remains heavily negative at -31.68%, despite a gain of 3% over the week. The resistance threshold identified at €7.43 remains distant, while the support at €6.00 was tested in April following a 7.39% drop after the quarterly publication. The next key event for shareholders is the Investor Day on May 21, 2026.
