Verallia Shares Hit a Three-Year Low Following Annual Results Decline
Verallia hit a new low this Wednesday, February 25, with the stock falling by 1.83% to 19.89 euros, below its previous three-year low of 20.06 euros set on February 19. This slide comes after the release of the annual accounts for 2025, showing a decrease in both revenue and profitability. Over the year, the stock has now declined by more than 25%.
Annual Financial Results Revealed
The glass packaging group unveiled its accounts for the past fiscal year on Tuesday. Verallia posted an annual revenue of 3,331 million euros, down by 3.6%, despite a positive volume momentum. The adjusted EBITDA stood at 692 million euros, indicating a compression of operational profitability. The negative price effect primarily impacted the revenues, in an environment where price negotiations remain pressured across the entire glass packaging sector.
The next key dates in the financial calendar are set for April 22, when the group will announce its first quarter 2026 results, followed by the general meeting scheduled two days later, on April 24. These events will be closely monitored to assess the glassmaker's ability to restore its margins in a still challenging pricing context.
Technical Signal: Breaking Below Support Level
The downward crossing of the support threshold at 20.06 euros represents a significant technical signal, with the price now moving near the lower boundary of the Bollinger Bands, set at 19.95 euros. This level marks a rarely reached tension zone over the past three years.
The stock is significantly below its 50-day moving average, which stands at 22.53 euros, representing a gap of more than 11%. This deviation reflects the magnitude of the recent correction: the stock has lost nearly 11% in one week and more than 16% over three months. Additionally, the RSI, an indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes, is at 31, approaching the technical threshold of 30 generally associated with an oversold condition. A move below this level could signal a short-term bearish excess.
