101.10 € resistance breached: Publicis Groupe SA share settles above after Q3 results
The communications group ranks among the best performers of the CAC 40, following an extended decline below a psychological threshold. The publication of its third quarter activity came out this morning, in a rather hesitant Paris market.
Resistance at 101.10 € breached during the session, 20-day moving average significantly outpaced
The stock gained 2.34% to 101.05 €, after having breached its resistance at 101.10 € during the session and maintained above it. This movement allows it to rank among the strongest gainers of the CAC 40, while the index is only advancing by 0.05%. The price is now 4.70% above the MA20 (96.51 €) and 2.59% above the MA50 (98.50 €), which erases the drop below 100 € observed in mid-September.
The RSI at 59 remains far from the overbought zone. Over the week, the stock gained 7.3%.
5% organic growth in the third quarter and annual target confirmed
Publicis Groupe reported this morning net revenue of 3,808 M€ in the third quarter, compared to 3,529 M€ a year earlier, representing 7.9% growth in published data. Organic growth reached 5.0%, following 4.5% in the first quarter and 4.8% in the second, and 4.8% over nine months, within the annual range of 4.5% to 5% that the group has confirmed. The "Connected Media" activity represents 62% of net revenue, while the Technology division (13%) remains in slight organic decline.
At September 30, the group has a net financial debt of 1,598 M€, compared to a net cash position of 548 M€ at the end of 2025. CIC Market Solutions confirms its price target at 120 €, approximately 19% above the current price.
