Exosens stock climbs 3.5% and posts best gain in SBF 120

The Bordeaux-based optronic company delivered the SBF 120's best performance mid-session on Friday, consolidating the previous day's surge following a revision of its annual targets. Two brokerage firms simultaneously published updated ratings with raised price targets that better reflect the group's growth trajectory.


Exosens stock climbs 3.5% and posts best gain in SBF 120

Leading the SBF 120 in a divided European market, Exosens breaks above its three moving averages

Exosens gained 3.31% to €60.85 during the session, while the SBF 120 declined 0.73% and the CAC 40 fell 0.76%. The stock thus topped the broader index, contrasting with a Paris market under pressure amid rising international interest rates (the Bank of Japan raised its rate to 1.25%, its highest since 1995, and the Fed increased its rates on Wednesday). Technical setup supports this momentum: the share price is trading above its three moving averages, at +5.40% above the 20-day MA (€57.73), +2.41% above the 50-day MA (€59.42) and +3.24% above the 200-day MA (€58.94).

The RSI at 53 remains in neutral territory with no overbought signal. Over the week, the stock is up 8.76%, driven primarily by the previous day's jump. The next resistance level stands at €66.80, approximately 9.8% above the current price.

Two research firms updated their ratings on Exosens on Friday. Oddo BHF raised its price target from €66 to €69 while maintaining an "outperform" rating, representing upside potential of approximately 13% from the current price. Deutsche Bank adjusted its target from €60 to €63 while retaining its "hold" rating, implying more limited upside of roughly 3.5%.

These revisions follow the announcement of new 2026 targets disclosed on September 17, which project approximately 20% revenue growth (up to €570 million) and approximately 25% adjusted EBITDA growth. The divergence between the two views reflects different interpretations of the file: between an outperformance scenario supported by Oddo and a more cautious approach adopted by Deutsche Bank, the next concrete verification point will be the nine-month results publication, expected on October 27.
