Ubisoft Shares Climb 6.64%, Breaking Through Resistance at €5.22
The stock of the French video game publisher significantly accelerates this Monday, bucking the trend of a CAC 40 that is down by 0.49% at 8,075.42 points. At €5.27, the share is up 28.79% over three months, mitigating some of the annual decline, which remains substantial at -52.59%. This session occurs sixteen days before the announcement of the annual results for 2025-2026, scheduled for May 20.
A Continued Rebound Approaching a Technical Resistance
Ubisoft Entertainment advances by 6.64% to €5.27, at the upper end of the Bollinger Bands with the upper boundary set at €5.40. The price is now very close to the resistance identified at €5.22, which it has just surpassed during the session. The movement extends a rebound that began in mid-April: the stock had already gained more than 23% over a week around April 15. The 50-day moving average at €4.21 remains well below the current price, indicating that the short-term momentum has reversed. The 200-day moving average at €6.77, however, highlights the extent of the recovery needed to offset the annual decline. The RSI at 58 remains in the neutral zone, with no overbought condition despite the bullish session. Comparable stocks listed in Paris are not following the same trajectory: Atari is down 0.19% and Bigben Interactive has fallen by 1.56%.
Focus on the Annual Release on May 20
The financial calendar sets May 20, 2026, for the publication of revenue and results for the fiscal year 2025-2026. During the announcement for the first half of 2025-26, the group confirmed a target of stable net bookings for the year, a non-IFRS operating result close to break-even, and an expected negative free cash flow. Net bookings for the third quarter are expected to be around €305 million. The transaction with Tencent is expected to bring in €1.16 billion, aimed at bringing non-IFRS net consolidated debt close to zero post-closure. The publisher also noted, among the points of vigilance for its first semester, a temporary increase in cheating on Rainbow Six Siege, which could impact player activity and spending. In the short term, the breaking through the resistance at €5.22 and the annual publication on May 20 are the two concrete benchmarks to follow for the continuation of the case.
