Vicat Shares Break Through Support at €58.80, Down 17% Over Three Months
The cement company from Isère faces another tough session at midday on Monday, May 18, 2026. The stock is down 3.29% at €58.80 and is among the largest declines in the SBF 120, while the broader index is down 0.71%. The movement breaks through the technical support level identified at €59.10.
The Stock Breaks Through Its Support at €59.10 and Deepens Its Quarterly Decline
Vicat's stock falls to €58.80 during the session, below the support threshold of €59.10 identified last week. The stock is down 6.67% for the week and now shows a decline of 16.83% over three months. The price is at the lower end of the Bollinger Bands, very close to the lower boundary at €58.41, a configuration that indicates seller exhaustion in recent sessions without any sign of reversal. The RSI at 42 remains in the neutral zone, without confirming a clear oversold condition. The stock remains well below its three moving averages, with the MM200 at €66.58 (a gap of 11.69%), which extends the medium-term downward trend. Vicat is among the biggest losers in the SBF 120 for the session, in an index that is down 0.71%.
An Unfavorable Context of Rates and Oil, Next Meeting on July 29
The session unfolds against a backdrop of tensions in the bond markets, with a U.S. 10-year yield rising to 4.63% and a Japanese 30-year yield around 4.20%. Brent crude is trading above $110, a consequence of the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This dual shock of rates and energy particularly affects cyclical industrial stocks that are intensive in energy, including cement. As a reminder, the first quarter revenue published at the beginning of May was €922 million, up 8.5% at constant scope and exchange rates, driven by price increases in Europe and a rebound in volumes in California. The technical rebound that followed this publication has faded, with the stock having since lost nearly 6% in a week. The next financial calendar appointment is set for July 29, 2026, with the publication of the semi-annual results.
