Ubisoft Stock Plunges 44% Over One Year, Bottom Performer of SBF 120
The Breton publisher remains under pressure on Friday, accumulating a marked weekly decline in a European market nearly balanced. The stock occupies one of the last places in the SBF 120 during trading, with its three moving averages situated above the price in a downward dynamic that has been establishing itself for several weeks.
A 3% Decline That Worsens a Slide of Nearly 45% Over One Year
Ubisoft loses 3.1% to €4.88 during trading, while the CAC 40 and SBF 120 fall by barely 0.15%. The stock thus ranks among the largest declines of the SBF 120, with a ranking of 116th out of 120 members. Pressure has accumulated throughout the week: over seven days, the stock loses 9.33%, and over one month, the decline reaches 12.87%.
Over one year, the loss exceeds 44%. This movement contrasts with a relatively serene session for major European indices, with the VIX falling to 14.17 and the DAX rising 0.6% during trading.
Three Moving Averages Above the Price and Short Interest Among the Market's Highest
The technical configuration weighs on the stock's performance. The price at €4.88 is trading below the 20-day MA (€5.31, a gap of 8.17%), the 50-day MA (€5.43, a gap of 10.20%), and the 200-day MA (€5.17, a gap of 5.69%): the three trend benchmarks converge above the current price, without any moving support level within immediate reach. The support identified at €4.73 remains the next level to monitor. The RSI at 43 is neutral, without a marked signal of selling exhaustion for now. Adding to this picture is a particularly high short position: according to recorded declarations, eleven funds cumulate 13.07% of capital sold short, a considerable level that reflects persistent institutional distrust.
This short interest has nevertheless decreased by 2.63 percentage points over thirty days (versus 15.70% one month earlier), a sign that some operators have reduced their bearish exposure without abandoning it altogether. Such a level of short positions signals that institutional investors remain positioned against the stock or are seeking to hedge an existing exposure; it does not in itself indicate the future direction of the price. On the fundamentals side, during the publication of 2025 annual results on April 30, 2026, the company highlighted the reduction of its net debt from €885 million to €187.3 million, while mentioning risks related to competition in the industry and pointing to a negative net result under IFRS. The support at €4.73 now represents the closest level likely to curb the ongoing decline.
