Saipem S.p.A. (SPM) is trading at €3.956 in early European trading on 8 April 2026, within an intraday range of €3.842–€4.071 on Capital.com's platform as of 11:01am UTC. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Sentiment across the broader energy services sector has come under pressure in recent sessions, with oilfield services equities facing headwinds from falling crude prices and trade-related uncertainty (Morningstar, 4 April 2025). WTI oil slipped below $62 a barrel following US tariff announcements before recovering sharply above $113 after President Trump's address on 2 April 2026, bringing significant volatility to energy-linked equities (Yahoo Finance via YouTube, 2 April 2026). At the company level, Saipem's Board confirmed full-year 2025 revenues of €15,497 million and adjusted EBITDA of €1,716 million – a year-on-year rise of 29.1% – alongside a net cash position of €999 million as of 31 December 2025, according to an official filing on 10 March 2026 (Saipem, 10 March 2026). The pending merger with Subsea7 to form 'Saipem7', expected to close in H2 2026 with anticipated annual synergies of approximately €300 million, remains a notable structural backdrop for the stock (Reuters, 24 February 2026; MarketScreener, 24 February 2026).

SPM stock price: Technical overview

The SPM stock price trades at €3.956 as of 11:01am UTC on 8 April 2026, according to Capital.com's platform feed. Price sits above the full moving-average stack on the daily chart, with the 20/50/100/200-day simple moving averages running at approximately €3.61 / €3.42 / €2.94 / €2.65 respectively, all signalling buy on TradingView's daily summary, and the 20-over-50 alignment intact, which keeps the near-term trend constructive.

Momentum indicators on TradingView show the 14-day relative strength index at 69.3, in firm-to-stretched territory, while the average directional index at 31.7 indicates that an established trend is in place. The Hull moving average (9) at €4.027 sits just above last price, a nuance that may reflect near-term mean-reversion pressure at current levels.

On the topside, the classic R1 pivot at €4.223 is the nearest reference above current price; a daily close through this level would put the R2 area near €4.531 in view. On pullbacks, the classic pivot point at €3.666 represents initial support, followed by the 50-day simple moving average shelf near €3.42. If price falls below that level, it would bring the S1 pivot at €3.358 into scope as the next reference (TradingView, 8 April 2026).

Saipem share price history (2024–2026)

SPM’s stock price opened 2025 at around €2.66 before beginning a prolonged slide. The stock drifted lower through the first quarter of 2025, dropping from the high-€2.30s in February to a two-year low of approximately €1.61 in early April 2025 amid a broad energy sector sell-off tied to trade tariff uncertainty and falling oil prices.

A gradual recovery took shape from mid-April 2025 onwards. SPM climbed back through the €2 mark in May, consolidated in the low-to-mid €2.30s for much of the summer, and pushed towards €2.50 by late autumn. The stock closed 2025 at €2.42, roughly 3.6% below its December 2024 close of €2.51 – a modest pullback following a volatile year.

2026 has brought considerably stronger momentum. SPM opened the year at €2.50, broke above €3 in February, and extended gains through March, reaching €4.07 intraday on 2 April before pulling back modestly. SPM closed at €3.956 on 8 April 2026, approximately 58.5% up year to date and around 125.9% above its close of €1.75 on 8 April 2025.

Saipem (SPM): Capital.com analyst view

Saipem's share price performance in 2026 has been notable, with SPM gaining over 58% year to date as of 8 April 2026, supported by record 2025 earnings, a strong order backlog, and positive broker sentiment ahead of the proposed merger with Subsea7. The combination, expected to close in H2 2026, carries potential synergies of around €300 million annually, which analysts cite as a structural tailwind. However, merger timelines carry execution risk, and regulatory scrutiny – including a CMA inquiry in the UK – could delay or complicate the process, which could weigh on the stock if outcomes disappoint.

At the same time, Saipem's revenues and margins are closely tied to activity levels in the offshore oil and gas sector, meaning a sustained fall in crude prices or a pullback in capital expenditure by energy majors could pressure earnings. Broader macro headwinds, including trade tariff uncertainty and slowing global growth, add further complexity. Growing exposure to offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture projects may also provide some diversification from traditional hydrocarbon cycles.

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

FAQ

Who owns the most Saipem stock?

Saipem’s shareholder base can change over time, so readers should check the latest company filings for the most up-to-date position. In general, ownership in listed companies such as Saipem is often concentrated among institutional investors, strategic shareholders, and asset managers rather than retail traders. Because stakes can rise or fall after disclosures, it is more accurate to refer to official shareholder records than to rely on static ownership figures in an evergreen article.

What is the 5 year Saipem share price forecast?

There is no single reliable five-year SPM stock forecast. Longer-term forecasts depend on several variables, including offshore energy spending, project execution, crude oil prices, balance sheet trends, and the outcome of the proposed Subsea7 combination. Third-party analyst targets cited in this article focus on the next 12 months rather than five years. For that reason, any long-range view should be treated as uncertain and used as one input among many, not as a fixed expectation.

Is Saipem a good stock to buy?

Whether Saipem is a good stock to buy depends on an individual’s goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, and view of the energy services sector. The article highlights supportive factors such as record 2025 earnings, backlog growth, and merger-related synergies, but it also outlines risks including commodity price volatility, macro uncertainty, and execution risk around the Subsea7 deal. That balance means Saipem may appeal to some market participants, while others may judge the risk profile differently.

Could Saipem stock go up or down?

Saipem stock could move in either direction, depending on how company-specific and market-wide factors develop. On one hand, stronger margins, continued order intake, and progress on the planned Subsea7 merger could support the share price. On the other, weaker crude prices, lower energy investment, regulatory delays, or broader risk-off sentiment could weigh on performance. Technical levels can help traders identify possible support and resistance, but they do not remove uncertainty or predict future moves with certainty.

Should I invest in Saipem stock?

That is a personal decision rather than a general conclusion. This article is for informational purposes only and does not provide investment advice or a recommendation. Before deciding whether to invest in Saipem, it is worth reviewing your financial objectives, time horizon, and tolerance for loss, as well as the company’s latest results and sector conditions. Investors and traders may also want to compare Saipem with peers and consider how exposure to energy services fits within a broader portfolio.

Can I trade Saipem CFDs on Capital.com?

Yes, you can trade Saipem CFDs on Capital.com. Trading share CFDs lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset and to take long or short positions. However, contracts for difference (CFDs) are traded on margin, and leverage amplifies both profits and losses. You should ensure you understand how CFD trading works, assess your risk tolerance, and recognise that losses can occur quickly.
