Dassault Aviation stock surges 9% over the week, heading toward its 200-day moving average

A stock rebounding above its short-term averages, just below the 200-day moving average

The Dassault Aviation stock gains 2.01% to €304, after advancing nearly 9% over the week. This rebound places it above the 20-day moving average (€286.91, a difference of 5.96%) and the 50-day moving average (€292.28), while the stock remains slightly below its 200-day moving average at €306.61, a difference of 0.85%. The RSI at 60 and a positive MACD histogram describe a buying dynamic that is established without excess.

This recovery partially erases the decline at the beginning of the month, when the stock lost 2.5% in a market that was nonetheless well-oriented. Over the quarter, the security still shows a gain of 8.49%.

Rafale Export deliveries and the Indian file fuel the underlying story

When releasing first-half 2026 results on July 22, the group reported 12 Rafale aircraft delivered in the first half (10 for export and 2 for France), compared to 7 a year earlier. It also mentioned entering into arm's length negotiations with India for 114 aircraft. The same document flagged a slightly declining order book at €45.4 billion compared to €46.6 billion, and the halt of the SCAF/NGF program in French-German cooperation.

Among comparable stocks, Thales gains 3.29% and Safran 0.44% this Friday, while the SBF 120 advances 0.47%. The 200-day moving average at €306.61, less than 1% from the current price, is the next level to break through.
