Exosens Stock Breaks Its Resistance at €66.65 and Accelerates in Defense Sector
The French specialist in night vision and imaging technologies for defense soars midday, among the top gainers in the SBF 120. The stock crosses a technical threshold monitored for several sessions, following a series of recent industrial announcements. The bullish momentum in the Parisian defense sector provides a favorable backdrop.
The Stock Breaks Its Resistance at €66.65, Marking a Nearly 58% Increase Over the Year
Exosens stock jumps 5.91% to €67.20 at midday, among the strongest rises in the SBF 120 while the index itself is down 0.25%. The stock has crossed its session resistance at €66.65 and remains above it, validating the momentum that started a week ago (+9.45%).
The movement is part of a broader upward trend: the performance reaches 7.87% over three months and 57.56% over a year. The price is now significantly above its three moving averages, with a gap of 28.32% from the MM200 (€52.37). The RSI at 53 remains in the neutral zone, which leaves room before an overbought configuration, and the MACD has crossed back above its signal line, consistent with the intra-session breakthrough.
Recent Industrial Announcements Fuel the Momentum in the Defense Sector
The rebound occurs following a new pivotal announcement: on May 26, Exosens announced its integration into the European SPIRIT project, aimed at developing next-generation infrared detection technologies and strengthening European strategic autonomy in defense. This announcement extends a series of dense industrial news, following the integration of Micro Pore Optics on the ESA's SMILE mission in May and the announced doubling of the production capacity of cooled infrared cameras for fiscal year 2026.
The sectoral context also plays a role: several French defense stocks are leading the SBF 120, with Thales up 2.49% and Exail Technologies 7.31%. According to the consensus of analysts surveyed, the stock is trading at about 35.7 times the expected earnings for the current fiscal year and 30.2 times those of the following year. With the validated crossing of the €66.65 resistance, the next technical level to watch is beyond recent highs.
