Dassault Aviation, the iconic Rafale fighter jet maker, is again in the spotlight. The company’s stock price surged for the second straight day on Wednesday, climbing 1.47% and reaching an intraday high of €304.40 on the Paris stock exchange, inching closer to its all-time high of €332.20.

By mid-session, Dassault Aviation stock was trading at €302.40, still up by 0.47%. This surge comes right after a dramatic fall of over 7% on Monday, followed by a solid 3% recovery on Tuesday proving the stock’s resilience.

What’s Driving This Momentum?

The increase in prices for shares of Dassault Aviation can be rightly justified on the basis of increased geopolitical tensions within South Asia. During this operation, Rafale fighter jets with SCALP cruise missiles and HAMMER ammunition were instrumental while refraining from any breach of Pakistani airspace. Reports of the involvement of these jet fighters in the operation created an instant upsurge in investor interest as Dassault Aviation manufactures the Rafale jets. The operation not only showcased Rafale’s capability but also elevated global attention towards Dassault’s tech dominance.

Expert Analysis and Technical Insights

Stock market experts are optimistic about the stock’s near-term trajectory. According to analysts, Dassault Aviation has formed a bullish hammer pattern on the monthly chart  a strong indicator of a potential upward trend.

Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager Technical Research at Anand Rathi, commented:

“The Rafale brand owner company’s stock has made a double bottom around the 280 zone, which is currently working as crucial support for Dassault Aviation shares. Hence, Dassault Aviation shareholders are advised to hold the scrip, maintaining a stop loss at 280. On the upper side, Dassault Aviation’s share price faces a hurdle in the 320 to 330 zone. So, fresh investors can buy and hold the scrip for the short-term target 330. However, they must maintain a stop loss at 280 while taking any fresh position in this scrip.”

However, not all experts are equally bullish. Some are advising caution due to market volatility triggered by Indo-Pak headlines.

Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment and Securities, stated:

“Dassault Aviation share price has tested its swing low support zone of 292–291. A decisive break below this level could quickly drag the stock toward the 260 zone. Caution is advised for long positions. Traders should watch for a breakdown confirmation before considering fresh shorts, as sharp moves are likely. Defensive positioning and tight risk management are key in this environment.”

Financial Strength Adds to Confidence

Beyond political developments, Dassault Aviation’s own financial strength adds further confidence. The company recently reported:

  • Annual revenue: €6.24 billion
  • Net profit: €924 million
  • The French Aerospace & Defence sector has grown 17.7% in the past year, with Dassault playing a major role.

Dassault’s long-term performance has been stellar. The stock has surged over 355% in the last five years, earning it the coveted multibagger status.

Will It Break the Record?

With technical charts looking strong, geopolitical buzz in its favor, and solid fundamentals backing it up, Dassault Aviation is now within striking distance of its previous high of €332.20. Investors, however, are advised to tread carefully, watching the €280 and €291 support levels closely, and maintaining strict risk control in case of any sharp reversals.
