TotalEnergies Shares Rise Nearly 1.5%, Boosted by a Slight Rebound in Brent
The French oil major shows progress at midday, while the CAC 40 trends downward. The stock is attempting to break out from the consolidation zone it has been in for several sessions, amid a tense geopolitical environment.
The stock is among the leaders of the CAC 40 during a bearish session
At midday, TotalEnergies is up 1.37% at €78.43, while the CAC 40 is down 0.49% at 8,178.14 points. The stock is among the top gainers in the Paris index, trailing behind Orange (+1.55%).
The increase occurs in a context of renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, following new Israeli strikes in Lebanon over the weekend. These developments rekindle the risk premium on energy markets and benefit the European oil sector, where Shell also advances by 0.92%.
Over the past year, the stock now shows a gain of nearly 50%, and more than 15% over the last three months. Its trajectory remains one of the strongest in the CAC 40 over this period.
Crossing €78 reignites pressure on the €80.27 resistance
The price moves back above its short-term moving averages: the MM20 at €77.79 and the MM50 at €77.67 are surpassed, with a gap of +0.82% and +0.98% respectively. The MM200, at €62.75, remains far behind, reflecting the medium-term upward trend (+25% gap).
The RSI at 50 remains neutral, indicating that today's movement does not yet reflect a marked buying dynamic. The resistance identified at €80.27 becomes the next technical threshold to observe, after several sessions of stagnation around €77.
Based on the expected earnings per share, the stock is trading at about 8 times the earnings of the current fiscal year, according to the consensus of surveyed analysts.
