Ubisoft Stock Soars 6.48% to €5.39 Six Days Before Annual Results
The stock of the French video game publisher significantly accelerates in mid-afternoon this Thursday, among the strongest gains in the SBF 120. At €5.39, the stock crosses the upper boundary of its Bollinger Bands in a Parisian market trending upwards (CAC 40 at +0.83% at 8,074.40 points). The session occurs six days before the release of the 2025-2026 annual accounts.
A Surge that Propels the Price Above the Upper Bollinger Band
Ubisoft's stock gains 6.48% to €5.39, up from €5.06 at the previous day's close. This movement pushes the price above the upper Bollinger Band set at €5.25, a configuration that signals a short-term buying excess. The RSI at 63 remains below the strict overbought threshold but is approaching it. Above the MM20 (€4.95) and MM50 (€4.38), the price is still far from the MM200 at €6.51, which is 17.2% above the current price. The €5.22 resistance, already surpassed in early May, is again exceeded during the session. Over the week, the stock has advanced 9.4%; over three months, the gain is 16.6%. The loss over one year remains significant, at -53.4%. According to reviewed statements, the cumulative net short positions reach 14.67% of the capital, declared by ten funds. Citadel Advisors, Marshall Wace, and D. E. Shaw are among the leading short sellers. The level has changed little over thirty days (-0.13 percentage point), but remains high in absolute terms.
Focus on the Annual Publication on May 20, After a Season of Product Launches
The rebound begins six days before the publication of the revenue and results for the fiscal year 2025-2026, expected on May 20. This deadline has become the focus of the file for operators, after several quarters of volatility (a profit warning in January 2026 and a rebound of more than 10% in February following a quarterly publication exceeding expectations, according to the file history). In addition, the publisher continues to make announcements about its franchises. Phase 2 of Season 1 of The Division Resurgence was launched on Tuesday, with a new Battle Pass. The Year 3 schedule for Skull and Bones was revealed on May 7, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is announced for July 9 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The stock is now 3.2% above its resistance at €5.22; the next crucial appointment remains the publication on May 20.
