Vicat Stock: Shares Drop Over 5% Following the Announcement of Annual Results for 2025
Vicat shares experienced a significant decline this Tuesday morning at the Paris Stock Exchange, dropping over 5% following the release of its annual financial statements. The cement group reported moderate revenue growth and stable operating margins, amidst an international environment challenged by adverse currency fluctuations. Today's decline is part of an already difficult week for the stock.
The Isère-based cement company Vicat unveiled its financial results for the year 2025 the day before, showing an annual revenue of 3,854 million euros, a 3.3% increase from the previous year. The EBITDA margin remained stable at 20%, in line with management's commitments, despite unfavorable exchange rate effects impacting the group's international activity. Although these figures demonstrate operational resilience, they evidently did not meet market expectations: the stock fell by 5.46% to 69.30 euros this Tuesday, bringing its weekly decline to nearly 12%. The next important date on the financial calendar is the general assembly scheduled for April 10, followed by the release of the first quarter 2026 revenue on May 4.

Today's correction caused the stock to break below a significant technical threshold: the price of 69.30 euros is now well below the previously identified support level at 72.40 euros, which had contained recent downward phases. This break occurs while the stock was already trading below its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, respectively positioned at 77.54 and 76.08 euros, indicating a short-term bearish dynamic. The RSI, an indicator measuring the relative strength of the ongoing movement, stands at 37, close to the oversold zone (under 30), signaling sustained selling pressure without indicating an extreme excess. In the longer term, the 200-day moving average, located at 64.24 euros, serves as a reference floor. Over one year, the stock still maintains a positive performance of nearly 56%, underscoring the magnitude of the rebound over the past twelve months.
