Exail Technologies Shares Drop Nearly 2% and Test Support at €100.60
The French specialist in underwater robotics and navigation systems continues its slide mid-morning. The stock has broken below a closely watched technical threshold from several sessions ago, before slightly recovering. Tension remains high in the capital, where bearish bets maintain a high exposure.
The Stock Breaks Its Support at €100.60 Before Climbing Back Above During the Session
Exail Technologies shares drop 1.85% to €100.90 mid-morning, after hitting an intraday low of €99.80. The stock briefly dipped below its support at €100.60, identified in technical data, before just climbing back above. An RSI at 35 indicates seller exhaustion over recent weeks, while the price remains 16.5% below its 50-day moving average (€120.80) and 5.2% below its 200-day moving average (€106.43).
The decline follows a nearly 5% drop on June 22, which had already brought the stock back to this level. Over a month, the stock has lost nearly 21%, and over three months, more than 27%, consequences of the shock related to the dispute with ICG revealed on June 12.

On June 23, Stifel set a price target of €140, along with a 'buy' rating, representing a theoretical potential of about 39% relative to the current price. However, the capital context remains tense: according to reviewed statements, the cumulative net short position reaches 5.89% of the capital, spread across six funds, showing a slight decrease over thirty days (-0.37 point). This level, higher than the 3% threshold generally considered significant, indicates that a notable fraction of institutional investors remain positioned for a decline in the stock, without further amplifying pressure in recent weeks.
Based on expected earnings per share, the stock trades at about 61 times earnings for the current fiscal year and 28 times those of the next fiscal year, a valuation that remains demanding despite the correction. The €100.60 support, tested in the morning, remains the short-term technical reference level.

Guidance from the release
Le conseil d'administration d'Exail a accueilli favorablement ce projet de rapprochement.
Le chiffre d'affaires du 2ème trimestre 2026 atteint 144 M€, en croissance organique de +17 %, après un 2ème trimestre 2025 exceptionnel (+52 %). Les prises de commandes du trimestre s'élèvent à 116 M€, dont environ 20 M€ en robotique maritime et près de 30 M€ en Technologies avancées, pénalisées par un calendrier limité de notifications de grands programmes de drones maritimes. Les commandes de systèmes de navigation progressent d'environ 41 % et les activités photoniques de 47 %. Le segment Navigation & Robotique maritime affiche des revenus en hausse de 20 %, celui des Technologies avancées 29 M€ (+12 % à périmètre comparable, après cession de l'activité Automation début mai 2026). Événement majeur : accord du 6 juillet 2026 entre Gorgé SA et Thales pour la cession d'environ 35,5 % du capital, suivi d'une OPA obligatoire à 134 € par action.
