Schneider Electric stock plummets nearly 10% following strategic acquisition announcement
The share price of the Rueil-Malmaison-based equipment manufacturer suffers the steepest decline in the Paris index in a downward-trending market. It reacts to an acquisition agreement of unusual magnitude for the group, accompanied by a change in capital distribution policy.
A 22 billion euro acquisition financed by debt and a capital increase
The Schneider Electric share price retreats 9.97% to €272.80, compared to €303 at the previous close, while the CAC 40 declines 1.09%. The group has signed an agreement to acquire PTC for approximately 22 billion euros. The transaction will be entirely paid in cash, through debt and a capital increase. Schneider also plans a pause in its share buybacks in 2027 and 2028.
The share thus breaks through its support level at €272.05 barely touched, at the threshold, after falling 6.25% over one week. It finds itself below its 20 and 50-day moving averages, while remaining above its 200-day MA (difference of 2.21%). The group had raised its 2026 objectives during its half-yearly results released on July 31, based on an order book at record level.

Two brokerage firms published their views on Monday. HSBC raised its price target from €340 to €350, with a buy rating maintained. CIC Market Solutions retained its buy rating and price target of €345.
Both targets are situated approximately 27% and 26% above the current price of €272.80. These levels should be interpreted in light of today's session: the decline of the day brings the share well below the values targeted by these two analysts.
