Mersen shares rebound by more than 2% and post one of the strongest gains on the SBF 120
Mersen regains momentum this Monday in a well-oriented Paris market, advancing significantly since the last close. The stock of the advanced materials and electrical equipment specialist rebounds after a week of slight consolidation, returning to touch its short and medium-term moving averages.
A 2.2% rebound that brings the stock back to contact with its 50-day moving average at €37.98
Mersen advances 2.2% during the session to €38.02, ranking among the strongest gainers on the SBF 120 in a broader index that gains 0.72% at the same time. The stock thus returns to near-perfect contact with its 50-day moving average at €37.98, with a spread of only 0.11%: neither a clear bullish break nor a rejection. It remains above its 20-day moving average at €37.65, with a spread of 0.98%, consolidating the rebound initiated on Wednesday, September 16th.
Over one year, performance remains very solid at nearly 49%, which testifies to a distinctly more constructive underlying bullish dynamic than the quarterly decline of 9.9%. The RSI at 46 reflects a neutral configuration, without excess in either direction, which leaves room before any extreme signal.
Guided fundamentals and an interest rate context that deserves monitoring
Upon publication of first-half 2026 results on August 3, 2026, Mersen communicated guidance targeting annual revenues of €1,260 million and expected EBITDA of €204.8 million. These objectives come in a less favorable macro environment this Monday: the Fed, the Bank of Japan, and the ECB raised their key rates during the past week, citing persistent inflation linked to energy prices. Such a high interest rate environment may weigh on industrial valuations over the medium term, even though Mersen is displaying notable resilience against this backdrop. The next technical resistance stands at €41.88, representing a spread of approximately 10% from the current price, while support remains anchored at €36.18.
