Recent Analyst Updates
This Monday, the research firm Bernstein maintained its 'outperform' rating on the stock while lowering its price target from 290 to 245 euros. This new assessment comes a week after BNP Paribas Exane downgraded its rating from 'outperform' to 'neutral' on January 13. Bernstein's price target is now 22.6% above the current price, still suggesting a potential upside, albeit reduced.

Technical Analysis
Technically, the stock is dangerously approaching the support level at 195.80 euros, only 2% away, a level that represents both a psychological and technical floor previously tested at the end of December. The price is currently below its 50-day moving average of 205.06 euros, confirming a short-term bearish trend. The MACD indicator, with a negative histogram at -0.33, remains below its signal line, indicating a deteriorated technical configuration that sustains selling pressure. The RSI at 51 is in a neutral zone, currently showing no oversold signals that might attract opportunistic buyers. The one-month volatility stands at 8.81, a moderate level that indicates some stabilization of price fluctuations in a consolidating environment. Breaking below the support at 195.80 euros could lead to further declines, whereas a rebound above the 50-day moving average might ease the bearish pressure.
