Sopra Steria Share: Nearly 17% Gain in Three Months, Stock Recovers 2.5%

A Rebound That Brings the Stock Back Above Its 20-Day Moving Average

Sopra Steria shares gain 2.31% to €168.40, in an SBF 120 that advances 0.70%. The stock thus moves back above its MA20 (€161.99, difference of 3.96%), after remaining below it for several weeks. The MA50, at €173.99, remains above the price by 3.21%.

This rebound comes after a difficult month: the stock still falls 1.98% over one month, but shows 3.89% gains over the week. Tensions on French government debt form the backdrop of the session: the 10-year OAT is at 4.90%, its highest level since 2008, with a spread of 1.47 points with the Bund. The CAC 40 nevertheless advances 0.65% mid-session, and the group ranks among the rising values in the SBF 120.

A Share Buyback Program and Objectives Raised in the First Half

The group raised its annual organic growth target to +2.0% / +2.5% upon the publication of H1 2026 results, on July 29, 2026. On that occasion, the company reported aerospace growth of 12% and defense-security-space growth of 10%, while flagging among its risks the dilutive impact of the SFT program stoppage. The €40 million share buyback program announced on April 28 was executed at approximately 100% by end of July.

In terms of valuation, the stock trades at approximately 9.4 times current fiscal year earnings, according to the consensus of surveyed analysts. According to reviewed statements, net short positions reach 2.85% of capital, distributed among three funds, declining by 0.15 points over thirty days. The support level at €156.10 and resistance at €181.50 frame the current price.
