The Stock Breaks Through €62.30 Resistance and Exceeds Upper Bollinger Band
ALTEN's stock gains 3.29% to €64.35, marking a 4.81% increase for the week. The stock clearly surpasses the €62.30 resistance, a level it had struggled with during the May 12 session, as noted in a previous brief on this threshold. The price moves above the upper Bollinger Band, which is at €63.49. This configuration indicates an upward acceleration, although a price above the upper Bollinger Band may signal potential overbuying; the RSI at 63 remains below the 70 threshold. The stock also moves well above its MM50 (€56.99), with a nearly 13% gap, and approaches its MM200 at €65.96, which remains the next graphical reference. On the SBF 120, ALTEN progresses while the index gains 0.81%.
Moderate Valuation Compared to the Technology Sector and a Busy Schedule Ahead of Summer
Based on the consensus of surveyed analysts, the stock is trading at approximately 8.7 times the earnings expected for the current fiscal year and 7.9 times those of the next year, with an estimated EPS growth of 10.4% from one year to the next. This level remains well below the 'Technology' sector average of 27.1 times the earnings expected for the current year. Despite today's rebound, the stock still shows a decline of 13.57% over the past year. The MM200 at €65.96 remains the next graphical reference for the continuation of the movement.
