Euronext Shares Mark the Highest Rise in the CAC 40, Up Nearly 5% Over the Week
The pan-European stock exchange operator Euronext records the highest increase at the close of the CAC 40, going against the grain of a slightly downward trending Parisian index. The stock continues the momentum started earlier in the month as volatility rises on European markets.
The Stock Moves Above its Short-Term Moving Averages and Eyes the 150 € Resistance
Euronext's stock rises by 2.13% to 144.10 €, leading the Parisian index ahead of Orange (+1.93%) and Danone (+1.59%). The stock thus marks a weekly gain of 5.31%.
The price moves above its MM20 (141.62 €) and MM50 (142.46 €), confirming the reconquest of short technical benchmarks started last week. The gap with the MM200, at 132.22 €, reaches nearly 9%, indicating a consistently bullish underlying trend.
The RSI at 51 remains neutral, with no overbought signal at this stage. The next resistance is at 150.20 €, a threshold crossed mid-May following the quarterly publication.
A Contrasting Session with Brent Still Under Pressure and a Sharp Rise in the VIX
The rebound of the stock occurs in a contrasting European market: the CAC 40 drops by 0.18% and the DAX loses 2% at the close. The VIX jumps by more than 16%, to 22.02, signaling a clear increase in nervousness regarding stock volatility.
In the background, Brent climbs to around 92 dollars a barrel following new US strikes against Iranian targets, while Chinese producer inflation reaches its highest in nearly four years. In such turbulent sessions, market operators like Euronext can benefit from more sustained activity, as their trading revenues are directly linked to exchanged volumes.
As a reminder, during the Q1 2026 publication on May 20, the group reported underlying revenues up by 15.3% at 528.5 M€ and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 64.9%.
