Solvay's Stock Climbs 2% and Approaches Key Moving Averages
The Belgian chemical company is making gains in early afternoon trading on the Paris stock exchange, in a broadly rising European market. The stock is benefiting from a tone shift by a German broker earlier in the week, following several sessions of consolidation around its moving averages.
Deutsche Bank Upgrades from Sell to Hold and Raises Target to €26
Deutsche Bank upgraded its rating on Solvay on Wednesday, from 'sell' to 'hold', with a price target increased from €23.50 to €26.00. This new target is slightly below the current price of €26.82, reflecting a now neutral outlook from the German broker after several months of caution. The catch-up movement that started earlier in the week continues, with the stock gaining 2.05% during the session while the SBF 120 index is up 1.81%. Across the consensus of analysts, Deutsche Bank's step illustrates a gradual revision of opinions following the rare earth partnership signed with Viridis in early June.

In terms of technical benchmarks, Solvay is approaching its 50-day moving average (MM50) at €26.84 and its 200-day moving average (MM200) at €26.91, thresholds it has been trying to reclaim for several sessions. The 20-day moving average at €26.02 is now 3% behind, indicating a short-term momentum that is picking up, while the RSI at 50 remains neutral, showing no extremes. Additionally, a drop in Brent crude to below $89 per barrel (-5.17% in session) eases pressure on energy costs for the chemical sector, which is sensitive to energy expenses. Over the past year, the stock is still down nearly 10%, but today's rebound confirms its exit from the low zone touched in mid-May, around €25.40.
