CAC 40: Schneider Electric, Capgemini, and Dassault Systèmes Support the Index
A Paris Session Driven by Sector Trends
Paris is moving cautiously in line with other European markets on this first day of the month. The DAX is up 0.44% at 25,215.90 points, while the STOXX 600 is down 0.12%, and the FTSE 100 declines by 0.15%.
Paris is primarily driven by a significant rebound in technology stocks, which offsets a notable decline in major defense and automotive names. The SBF 120 shows a symbolic increase of 0.11%, highlighting the fragile balance of the morning.
The top of the leaderboard is dominated by technology stocks. Schneider Electric leads the session with a 3.45% increase to 279.25 euros, closely followed by Capgemini (+3.29% to 105.30 euros) and Dassault Systèmes (+3.22% to 19.41 euros). This trio forms a coherent bloc around the themes of digitalization and energy infrastructure.
STMicroelectronics adds to the momentum in the semiconductor sector, rising by 2.22% to 60.26 euros, in a context where Asian technology indices closed in positive territory. Legrand, another stock tied to building electrification, rises by 1.02% to 149.15 euros, continuing the thematic trend set by Schneider Electric.
Automobile and Defense at the Bottom of the Rankings
On the downside, Renault marks the largest drop in the index with a decline of 1.86% to 29.04 euros. The automaker is operating in an unfavorable sectoral context: according to figures from the PFA published this morning, Renault group saw its vehicle registrations fall by 9.80% in May despite a 1.0% growth in the French light vehicle market year-over-year. Concurrently, the group has rolled out a three-part roadmap to strengthen its position in the electric vehicle segment, with a support program for professionals starting today, the opening of social leasing pre-orders on June 16, and the program's launch on July 16.
The aerospace and defense sector is the other bearish pole. Airbus is down 1.70% to 176.64 euros and Thales drops 1.21% to 236.60 euros. EssilorLuxottica declines by 1.34% to 172.80 euros, while Pernod Ricard loses 1.14% to 62.70 euros, completing a quintet of declines concentrated between 1% and 2%. The balance of power at midday thus indicates a clear sectoral rotation, rather than an overall directional movement on the Paris market.
