Sopra Steria Stock Climbs 4.43% to €141.30 on the Eve of the AGM
Sopra Steria's stock marks one of the strongest gains in the SBF 120 this Tuesday mid-morning. The stock is up 4.43% at €141.30, in a well-oriented Parisian market (CAC 40 +0.8%, SBF 120 +0.81%). The session takes place on the eve of the annual general meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
The Stock Challenges Its €141.80 Resistance and Nears the 200-Day Moving Average
Sopra Steria's stock is among the strongest risers in the SBF 120, with the index up 0.81% during the session. Today's movement brings the price directly in contact with the identified resistance at €141.80, a level that has capped the rebound that began at the end of April after the first quarter revenue announcement. At €141.30, the stock also passes very close to its 200-day moving average, set at €142.02, below which it had remained by 0.51%. Crossing this zone would mark the exit from a long bearish sequence: the stock is still down 26.37% over the year, despite a gain of 17.16% over three months. The RSI at 56 remains neutral and does not send a signal of exhaustion, but the Bollinger Bands place the price at the high end of the channel, at 81% of the amplitude. On the selling pressure side, net short positions declared reach 3.07% of the capital, up 1.42 points over thirty days according to the declarations consulted, with AKO Capital and Marble Bar Asset Management each at 1.00%.
An Annual General Meeting Tomorrow and a Valuation Much Lower Than the Technology Sector
Today's rebound occurs on the eve of the shareholders' annual general meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026. This event is the first milestone in the 2026 financial calendar for the Annecy-based group, led by Rajesh Krishnamurthy. The return to growth observed in the first quarter remains the core of the case. During the accounts announcement on April 29, Sopra Steria reported a revenue increase of 3.4% to €1.46 billion and confirmed all its financial targets for the year, after a contraction of 4.9% a year earlier, as indicated by the quarterly accounts. Based on the consensus of nine analysts, the stock is trading at about 8.0 times the earnings expected for the current year and 7.4 times those of the following year, while the average of the technology sector is around 27 times. The expected growth in earnings per share from one year to the next is set at 7.2%. The next operational appointment will be the publication of the 2026 half-year results, scheduled for July 29.
