Schneider Electric Stock: Shares Cross 271 Euros, Driven by Strong Upward Momentum
Schneider Electric's stock is up 1.76% this Thursday morning at 271.05 euros, extending a favorable streak that brings its weekly performance to nearly 9.6%. The stock is now significantly above its key technical levels, in a context where Morgan Stanley has just raised its price target. The publication of the 2025 annual results, scheduled for February 26, is the next major event for the stock.
Morgan Stanley Raises Target on Schneider Electric
On Monday, February 10, Morgan Stanley raised its target on Schneider Electric from 275 to 290 euros, accompanied by an 'overweight' recommendation. Given the current price of 271.05 euros, this revised target suggests a potential upside of about 7%. This move by the American bank is part of a revaluation of the stock, which has risen 15.3% over three months and 11% over a year. The publication of the 2025 annual accounts, expected on February 26, could provide crucial elements to confirm or refute the trajectory anticipated by the institution. The financial calendar then schedules the results for the first quarter of 2026 on April 30, followed by the half-year results on July 30.
Technical Analysis of Schneider Electric's Stock
Technically, Schneider Electric's stock price is well above its 50-day moving average (237.76 euros) and its 200-day moving average (230.56 euros), indicating a firmly established upward trend. The crossing of the previous resistance at 266.35 euros, corresponding to the previous day's closing price, reinforces this positive signal and potentially paves the way for new thresholds. However, the RSI — an indicator measuring the speed and magnitude of price changes — shows a level of 95, far beyond the usual overbought threshold of 70. This reading indicates that the stock has experienced a rapid rise, accumulating gains without a real consolidation phase. The most relevant support to watch is at 227.65 euros, a level that would represent a significant retreat from current prices. The upper Bollinger band at 261.94 euros has also been crossed, confirming the intensity of the ongoing movement.
