Veolia Environnement Closes Up 0.85% at 29.52 Euros
Veolia Environnement's stock closed up 0.85% at 29.52 euros this Tuesday, December 16, 2025, after opening at 29.27 euros in line with the previous day's close. Trading volumes were set at 0.24% of the capital traded, reflecting moderate but steady activity. The day's gain extends the positive momentum from the past week, with the stock advancing 0.89% over seven days. This performance is part of a more contrasted three-month movement, with a limited gain of 1.1%, while the annual performance stands at 5.96%. The stock is now trading above its 50-day moving average, positioned at 29.17 euros, indicating a short-term technical momentum gain. This session follows Morgan Stanley's favorable recommendation in early December, which had upgraded its market weight advice to overweight, with a price target raised from 32 to 33 euros.
Veolia Signs Decarbonization Project Agreement in China and Launches New Water Treatment Unit in France
On December 5, Veolia signed an agreement with Science City Guangzhou Investment Group to develop a decarbonization project in China, aimed at transforming industrial decarbonization into a value-generating activity. The group also commissioned its fifth mobile PFAS water treatment unit in France on December 16, located in Alsace, strengthening its positioning in pollution control technologies. These announcements come as the group confirmed its 2025 targets during the nine-month results publication in early November, with an EBITDA of 5,080 million euros and a margin of 15.7%. The GreenUp 2024-2027 strategy remains fully confirmed, with an EBITDA target of 8 billion euros in 2027 and Suez integration synergies reaching 508 million euros accumulated by the end of September.
Technical Analysis Indicates a Healthy Balance in Veolia's Stock
From a technical analysis standpoint, the RSI at 54 points indicates a healthy balance between buyers and sellers, with the stock trading in a neutral zone away from overbought or oversold extremes. This reading is confirmed by the MACD indicator, whose line at 0.04 remains slightly above the signal at 0.03, with a positive histogram of 0.01 validating the persistence of moderate buying pressure. The stock is now close to its technical resistance identified at 29.74 euros, while support is at 28.40 euros, defining a narrow trading channel. The Bollinger Bands, ranging from 28.37 euros on the lower bound to 29.81 euros on the upper bound, frame the current prices and reveal a phase of volatility contraction, measured at 4.37% over a month. The stock's positioning above its 20-day moving average at 29.09 euros supports a scenario of short-term bullish consolidation, although the 200-day average at 29.96 euros remains slightly above the current prices. The negative On Balance Volume at -3.23 million and the Chaikin Money Flow at -0.08, however, reflect some caution in the flows, suggesting that the rise is still supported by modest volumes.
