Airbus stock among the strongest declines in the CAC 40 ahead of third quarter results
The European manufacturer is declining mid-session in a lower-oriented Paris market. The stock remains stuck below a medium-term moving average, just days before its third quarter accounts.
A decline of 1.9% that leaves the stock below its MA50, above the MA200
Airbus stock fell 1.9% to €191.08 during the session, while the CAC 40 lost 0.82%. The price is in contact with its MA20 (€191.07), but remains below the MA50 (€196.46, or 2.74% higher than the current price) and above the MA200 (€188.69). Over three months, the stock lost 8.27%, leaving the security below its summer levels. Boeing, another major name in aeronautics, declined 2.46% on Thursday on Wall Street.
Third quarter accounts expected on October 28, following lessors' orders
Airbus will publish its third quarter 2026 results on October 28. When publishing the first half of 2026 results on July 29, the group reported 886 gross orders for commercial aircraft and a backlog of 9,222 aircraft, and cited the depreciation of the US dollar among its risks. Since then, the manufacturer has made successive announcements, including an order for 75 A320neo from Aviation Capital Group on October 16.
On the analyst side, CIC Market Solutions maintained its buy rating with a price target of €240, or nearly 26% above the current price, according to the October 21 publication. The October 28 accounts are the next scheduled milestone.
