Syensqo Shares Soar 5.78% to €62.20 Despite a 13% Decline in EBITDA
Syensqo stock defies market trends this Friday noon, as the CAC 40 drops 1.44%. The Belgian chemical company climbs 5.78% to €62.20, driven by market reaction to its quarterly release. This movement allows the stock price to reconnect with its 50-day moving average.
Q1 at €1.4 Billion and 2026 Guidance Maintained Despite EBITDA Pressure
This Friday morning, Syensqo announced its first quarter 2026 revenue at €1.399 billion. The underlying EBITDA fell by 13% year-over-year organically, due to an unfavorable product mix and adverse currency movements. The group confirmed its annual guidance for 2026 and reduced its investment budget. This combination (intact annual targets, increased capex discipline) is what stood out in the session for the Belgian chemist. However, the stock had been trending downward in the medium term before this publication, with a decline of 22.25% over three months and 6.94% over a year. The dividend payment is scheduled for May 18. The next semi-annual accounts are set for July 30, 2026.
Rebound Brings Price Back to Its 50-Day Moving Average at €62.19 and Into the Upper Bollinger Bands
The 5.78% jump during the session mechanically brings Syensqo back in contact with its 50-day moving average, located at €62.19. The price also significantly moves above the 20-day moving average (€52.99), with a gap of more than 17%. The 200-day moving average, at €68.56, remains 9.3% above the current price, reflecting the underlying negative trend that the session does not reverse. The stock is positioned in the upper Bollinger Bands, at 87% of the range (upper limit at €65.33), a potential overbought zone after such a rapid rebound. However, the RSI at 55 remains neutral, without signaling any extremes. The technical resistance is now at €60.05, which has been surpassed.
