Flowers Foods Inc Stock Forecast
Weaker technical forecast for Flowers Foods Inc as stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Flowers Foods Inc stock price fell by -0.400% on the last day (Friday, 3rd May 2024) from $25.00 to $24.90. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.34% from a day low at $24.71 to a day high of $25.04. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.3% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -29 thousand shares and in total, 991 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $24.68 million.
The stock lies in the upper part of a weak 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 $25.11 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 9.16% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $25.25 and $27.41 at the end of this 3-month period.

FLO Signals & Forecast
The Flowers Foods Inc 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 $24.89 and $23.70. 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, May 01, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.559%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Flowers Foods Inc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $23.17 and $22.61. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Flowers Foods Inc finds support just below today's level at $23.17. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $22.61 and $22.19.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.330 between high and low, or 1.34%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.50%.
The Flowers Foods Inc stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $24.01 (-3.56%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 82 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 2 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (FLO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Flowers Foods Inc to open at $24.88, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $24.53 and $25.27, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.374 (+/-1.50%) up or down from last closing price. If Flowers Foods Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.01% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $24.94 (0.16%) than the support at $23.17 (6.95%), 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 Flowers Foods Inc stock A Buy?
Flowers Foods Inc holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: 0.829 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
