Legrand Shares Hit a New Historical High at 156.90 Euros
On Wednesday, Legrand's stock reached a historical high, surpassing the previous record of 155.75 euros set on February 12. The stock of the specialist in electrical and digital infrastructures climbed by 1.69% to 156.90 euros, continuing a remarkable upward trend over recent months.
By exceeding the 155.75 euro mark, Legrand has established a new historical peak, confirming the strength of the upward movement that has been underway for several weeks. Over three months, the stock has risen by 22.67%, while the annual performance exceeds 47%. The price is now significantly above its 50-day moving average, which stands at 133.23 euros, indicating sustained buying momentum in the medium term. However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 86, a level that indicates a pronounced overbought zone. This indicator, which oscillates between 0 and 100, generally suggests above 70 that the stock has experienced rapid appreciation that may lead to a pause or technical consolidation. The price is also approaching the upper Bollinger band, set at 158.98 euros, while the former resistance of 154.30 euros has been clearly surpassed.

The day before this new record, Kepler Cheuvreux issued a 'hold' recommendation on the stock, without providing a specific price target. This recommendation reflects a measured approach towards a valuation that has significantly increased in recent months, with the group showing an almost uninterrupted upward trajectory for a year. Regarding the financial calendar, the next major milestone is set for May 7, 2026, with the publication of the first quarter results. The general assembly is scheduled for May 27, followed by the dividend detachment planned for May 29. The semi-annual results are expected on July 29. These events will provide concrete elements to compare the current stock market trajectory with the operational fundamentals of the Limoges-based group.
