Duff & Phelps Utilities Income Inc Stock Forecast
Duff & Phelps Utilities Income Inc stock upgraded to Buy Candidate.
(Updated on May 03, 2024)
The Duff & Phelps Utilities Income Inc stock price gained 0.345% on the last trading day (Friday, 3rd May 2024), rising from $8.70 to $8.73. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.04% from a day low at $8.69 to a day high of $8.78. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.8% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -152 thousand shares and in total, 524 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.58 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 is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $8.72 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Duff & Phelps Utilities Income Inc stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $8.79 and $9.22 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
