Vicat share extends its rebound and rises back above its 50-day moving average
The Isère cement manufacturer extends its rebound from the previous day and ranks well in an SBF 120 that is nearly balanced. The day's gains are accompanied by a strengthening of the share's position above its short and medium-term moving averages, in a context of globally cautious market conditions.
A gain of 1.86% that consolidates the technical recovery above the 20-day and 50-day moving averages
Vicat advances 1.86% to €65.60 during the session, while the SBF 120 declines by one-tenth of a percent. The share clearly settles above its 20-day moving average (€64.95, a difference of +1.00%) and its 50-day MA (€63.99, or +2.52%), two thresholds that were surpassed upward during the previous day's rebound. The 200-day MA, at €67.49, remains above the current price by slightly less than 3%, which marks the next moving resistance to overcome.
The RSI at 43 reflects a neutral configuration, far from extreme zones, which leaves technical room to continue the upward movement without an immediate overbought signal. Static resistance is identified at €68.70, while support remains anchored at €59.80. Over the week, gains remain below 1%, but over three months the share shows a gain of nearly 9%, illustrating the recovery that began at the end-of-spring cycle low.
A €7 million investment in alternative fuel underscores the group's decarbonization strategy
Following recent developments, the group announced in early September the strengthening of its VALèreCO joint venture with Derichebourg, through an investment of nearly €7 million in a new industrial facility in Meuse, intended to produce solid waste-derived fuel (CSR) supplying one of its cement plants. This project illustrates the energy substitution strategy that the group has been pursuing for several years to reduce its exposure to fossil energy costs, an item that Vicat had identified, when publishing its Q1 2026 results on May 4, 2026, as one of the main risks weighing on its margins. The group had then targeted "moderate growth" in its revenue and EBITDA on a constant scope and exchange basis.
According to the consensus of analysts surveyed, the share is trading around 9.8 times the expected earnings for the current fiscal year, and 8.8 times those of the following fiscal year, with earnings per share growth projected at +11.8% year-over-year. The 200-day moving average resistance at €67.49 represents the next threshold to monitor to confirm medium-term bullish momentum.
