Performance Food Group Company Stock Forecast
Evaluation of Performance Food Group Company stock downgraded after the last trading session.
(Updated on May 02, 2024)
The Performance Food Group Company stock price gained 0.0877% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd May 2024), rising from $68.43 to $68.49. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.52% from a day low at $68.25 to a day high of $69.29. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.66% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -190 thousand shares and in total, 1 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $70.67 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower of a falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $67.66 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -8.40% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $61.97 and $67.35 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

PFGC Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.90%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Performance Food Group Company stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $68.63 and $71.79. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.
