Vicat's Stock Jumps 2% to €60.30 After a 8.5% Increase in Quarterly Revenue
The share of the cement company from Isère rebounded by 2.03% to €60.30 at midday, following the announcement of an 8.5% increase in quarterly revenue. This movement comes after three months of significant decline, which brought the stock close to its technical support. The CAC 40 is up by 0.62% during the session.
A Technical Rebound After Three Months of Decline
Vicat's stock is regaining ground after a challenging quarter: down 20.97% over three months, despite a still positive performance of 19.17% over the year. The price is at the lower end of the Bollinger Bands, near the lower limit at €58.60, which is adjacent to the technical support at €59.10. This zone contained the decline yesterday and supports today's rebound. The RSI at 36 indicates the exhaustion of selling pressure over the last few weeks, without a clear reversal signal. The stock remains distant from its moving averages, with a MM50 at €65.23 and a MM200 at €66.44, both above the current price.
A Solid Quarter but Persistent Uncertainties
The company reported yesterday a revenue of €922 million for the first quarter, up by 8.5% on a constant scope and exchange rate basis. The performance is driven by price increases in Europe, aimed at offsetting energy costs, and by a rebound in volumes in California. The group remains exposed to several uncertainty factors: limited visibility in the American market, unfavorable exchange rate effects in emerging areas, and geopolitical tensions likely to impact energy. During the Q3 2025 announcement, Vicat confirmed an EBITDA growth of 2 to 5% on a constant scope and exchange rate basis for the fiscal year, and targeted a financial leverage below 1.0x by the end of 2027. Next appointment: the publication of the half-year results 2026, scheduled for July 29.
