September 16, 2026 in numbers
Soitec SA (ISIN FR0013227113) saw its shares jump on September 16, 2026 after JPMorgan raised its rating on the stock to Overweight from Neutral and more than doubled its price target to EUR 200 from EUR 98, according to Investir. A separate wrap from Euronews noted that Soitec jumped nearly 12 percent as semiconductor and AI related shares rebounded in Europe.
Price data from Euronext Paris showed Soitec closing at EUR 141.50 on September 16, 2026, with the shares gaining 15.04 percent on the day compared with the previous close of EUR 123.00 on September 15, 2026. Earlier five day data indicated that the stock had closed at EUR 144.30 on September 9, 2026, EUR 136.55 on September 10, 2026, EUR 141.15 on September 11, 2026, and EUR 123.40 on September 14, 2026 before the setback to EUR 123.00 on September 15, 2026, underscoring the scale of the rebound into September 16, 2026. On the same session, the CAC 40 index closed at 8,122.52 points, up 0.40 percent, meaning Soitec outperformed the broader French benchmark by more than 14 percentage points.
Today's focus after the upgrade
Today, September 17, 2026, investors can continue to weigh the implications of JPMorgan's higher EUR 200 price target, which Ad-hoc-news highlighted as implying more than 40 percent upside from levels cited around EUR 138 earlier in the day on September 16, 2026. The brokerage argued that raised expectations for Soitec's photonics business more than compensate for concerns in mobile, a view echoed in a segment on European movers by Bloomberg. Against that backdrop, the stock heads into today's session with fresh analyst support and a strong recent gain relative to the French equity indices.
