Hilton Food Group Plc Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Hilton Food Group Plc as stock downgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on Apr 25, 2024)
The Hilton Food Group Plc stock price fell by -1.08% on the last day (Thursday, 25th Apr 2024) from £927.00 to £917.00. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.48% from a day low at £903.58 to a day high of £935.00. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 3.73% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 6 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 89 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately £81.43 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at £929.13 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 16.57% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between £999.86 and £1,083.09 at the end of this 3-month period.

HFG.L Signals & Forecast
The Hilton Food Group Plc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at £910.43 and £863.43. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.08%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Trading Expectations (HFG.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 26th
For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 26th we expect Hilton Food Group Plc to open at £918.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between £888.28 and £945.72, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-£28.72 (+/-3.13%) up or down from last closing price. If Hilton Food Group Plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 6.26% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at £927.00 (1.09%) than the support at £878.00 (4.25%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Hilton Food Group Plc stock A Buy?
Several short-term signals, along with a general good trend, are positive and we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for Hilton Food Group Plc stock to perform well in the short-term. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Buy candidate.
