Ubisoft Stock Under Pressure: Short Sellers Hold 14% of Capital
The stock of the French video game publisher is reversing early in the week after a significant rebound last week. The stock is now among the least well-oriented values of the SBF 120 in an almost stable Parisian market. This profit-taking occurs as the stock remains under pressure despite its recent recovery.
Profit-Taking Brings the Stock Close to 12% Below Its 200-Day Moving Average
Ubisoft's stock fell by 2.38% to €5.50, compared to a last close of €5.634. The stock is at the lower end of the SBF 120 rankings, while the broader index edged up by 0.14% during the session and the CAC 40 increased by 0.18%.
The movement of the day does not question the dynamics of the last few weeks: the performance remains positive at 4.09% over seven days and 32.08% over three months, after the technical rebound that followed the post-annual results shock published on May 20. Over one year, the decline still reaches 45.44%.
The price is above the 20-day moving average (€5.12, a gap of +7.42%) and the 50-day MA (€4.66, +18.03%), which reflects the vigor of the rebound initiated in May. However, the 200-day MA, located at €6.28, remains above the current price (a gap of -12.42%) and acts as a medium-term technical ceiling. The RSI at 66 indicates a still tense dynamic without being in a characterized overbought zone.
A Cumulative Short of 14.05% of Capital Remains High Despite a Slight Decline
According to reviewed statements, ten funds have accumulated a net short position equivalent to 14.05% of Ubisoft's capital. The total has decreased by 0.73 points in thirty days, from 14.78% a month ago. The decline is modest, and the level of short remains high in absolute terms.
This parameter is read alongside the operational trajectory: during the publication of the annual accounts for 2025/2026 on May 20, 2026, the group reported a 21.8% decline in revenue and a negative IFRS net result, while highlighting a net debt reduced to €187.3M and a pipeline considered more solid for the fiscal years 2027-28 and 2028-29.
In the short term, the resistance threshold identified at €5.63 (close to the last closing price) remains the technical reference of the moment, while the 200-day MA at €6.28 constitutes the medium-term lock.
