Arkema is a materials company that develops polymers, adhesives, and performance solutions used across industry and consumer applications. The group organizes its offer around platforms that can be specified by engineers and scaled by manufacturers without frequent redesign. Customers use these materials in mobility, building, electronics, and packaging, and application centers help translate a data sheet into a stable process on the factory floor. Geographic coverage is broad with production and technical hubs close to end markets, while product stewardship and labeling remain uniform. Brand families are positioned to reflect functionality rather than commodity volume, and ranges evolve in steps that protect qualification at the customer. Within the materials ecosystem, Arkema is a supplier whose portfolio is intended to fit long programs and audited supply chains.
TTM is calculated as the sum of the four most recently completed quarters. This is a standard approach when monthly or real-time data is not available.
Arkema's Technical Indicators Summary
AKEp is currently exhibiting a bearish trend, reinforced by a weak ADX indicating low trend strength alongside negative momentum signals from MACD and CCI. The price is trading well below all key moving averages, including the 200-day EMA near 59.5, suggesting persistent downward pressure. Although the RSI is near oversold levels and the Stochastic and Williams %R indicate potential short-term buying interest, these are overshadowed by declining volume as shown by the negative OBV. Additionally, the price sits just under the VWAP and classic pivot point, both signaling resistance. Volatility remains moderate, with ATR showing steady price fluctuations. Overall, the technicals confirm a subdued bearish environment with limited momentum for recovery.
