Worldline's Stock Bounces to €0.3067 Following Takeover of Its Greek Subsidiary
Worldline significantly rebounds mid-morning on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, to €0.3067, as the SBF 120 index climbs by 0.80%. The stock of the European payment specialist is among the top gainers of the broader Paris index. This movement coincides with the group's announcement of taking full control of its Greek subsidiary.
Purchase of the Remaining 20% of Worldline Greece from Eurobank Supports the Stock
Worldline announced this Tuesday the purchase of the remaining 20% of Worldline Greece from Eurobank for 72 million euros. This transaction gives the group full control of its Greek joint venture, following a strategic refocus initiated in recent months. This comes after several divestitures carried out in 2026, including the sale of the Electronic Data Management business to SIX, finalized on May 4. The market has reacted favorably to this simplification of the scope, even as the stock remains down 76.4% year-over-year. Goldman Sachs issued a sell rating on the stock this Tuesday, with a raised target of €0.24, up from €0.23 previously. The target remains below the current price. Meanwhile, selling pressure through short positions remains high: according to filings reviewed, 3.45% of the capital is sold short, declared by four funds, with an increase of 1.94 points over 30 days. Helikon Investments, SQUAREPOINT OPS, and Walleye Capital are among the main participants.

Today's rebound brings the weekly gain to nearly 19%. The price has returned to directly test its resistance at €0.31, now testing it in the upper part of the Bollinger Bands (95%). Crossing this threshold would technically open up new space, but the stock remains well below its 50-day moving average (€0.42) and its 200-day MA (€1.67), over 81% below the latter. The RSI at 38 is gradually moving out of the low zone, without indicating overheating. The three-month performance remains negative at -12.54%, reflecting a stock that struggles to sustain a turnaround despite successive rebounds. In terms of valuation, the stock is trading at approximately 1.9 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year, compared to a sector average (Industrials) of 17.8 times. Next calendar event: the general meeting of shareholders is scheduled for June 11, 2026, before the publication of the first half results on July 30.
