Mersen shares fall 7% over one month but post a sharp rebound during the session

A 1.92% rebound brings the stock back to its 20-day moving average

Mersen shares gain 1.92% to €38.28 and trade at the level of their 20-day moving average (MA20, €38.18, a gap of 0.26%), after a 5.3% decline over the week.

The stock nevertheless remains below its 50-day moving average (MA50, €39.16), 2.25% lower, while maintaining a comfortable cushion of 9.4% above its 200-day moving average (MA200, €34.98). This rebound places the stock in the upper part of the SBF 120 without making it one of the largest gainers, while the index rises 0.33% and the CAC 40 rises 0.32%.

Over one year, the gain still reaches 83.2%, which places the weekly decline within a long-term trend that remains strongly bullish.

A 2026 growth target raised to 6.5-7.5% after third-quarter organic growth of 14.2%

The third-quarter sales published on October 28 showed organic growth of 14.2%, for revenue of €329.2 million. The group raised its 2026 organic growth target for the second time this year, now set between 6.5% and 7.5% compared with 4% to 6% previously, and confirmed its margin targets.

According to the press release, this performance “allows us to raise our 2026 organic revenue growth target for the second time this year and to confirm our margin targets”.

Since this publication, the stock has alternated between gains and declines around its moving averages. Over the last month, analyst consensus remains a reference point for assessing the stock, and the next technical level to watch remains resistance at €43.96.
