Vicat's Stock Jumps 3.65% to €62.50 Following Quarterly Report
The cement company from Isère opens the Wednesday, May 6, 2026 session with a strong increase to €62.50, in a Parisian market distinctly on the rise. This rebound extends the movement started the previous day after the quarterly publication, in a sector environment characterized by the ECB's caution and Brent crude remaining above $100.
A Rebound Within a Supportive European Market
Vicat's stock gains 3.65% to €62.50 at the opening, up from €60.30 at the previous close. This movement is part of a distinctly bullish European session. The CAC 40 is up 1.37% at 8,172 points, the DAX by 1.28%, and the FTSE 100 by 1.56% during the session. The rise erases part of a three-month decline, which remains at -17.65%. Year-on-year, the stock still shows a progression of 21.36%. The sector context remains charged. Brent was trading around $108 a barrel at the beginning of the week, a level that impacts the energy costs of cement companies. The ECB, which kept its key interest rates unchanged on April 30, highlighted the simultaneous intensification of upward risks on inflation and downward risks on growth. The VIX remains contained at 16.99.
The Stock Approaches Its Moving Averages, RSI Exits Oversold Territory
The stock is still below its main moving averages. The MM50 is at €64.96 and the MM200 at €66.44, respectively 3.9% and 6.3% above the current price. Today's rebound brings the stock closer to the 64-65 € zone, which had acted as a pivot point during mid-April sessions. The RSI at 40 is gradually exiting the low zone, after a quarter of selling pressure. The price is moving in the lower half of the Bollinger Bands, with the upper boundary at €69.92. On the fundamentals side, the post-publication sequence continues. The company announced on Monday a quarterly revenue of €922 million, up 8.5%, driven by European price increases and volume rebound in California. During the Q3 2025 publication, the company had confirmed an expected EBITDA growth between 2% and 5% at constant scope and exchange rates, and an EBITDA margin target of at least 20% for the 2025-2027 period. Next on the calendar: the 2026 half-year results, scheduled for July 29.
