Cardinal Health Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Oct 22, 2025 Gain 29.43%

The Cardinal Health, Inc. stock price fell by -0.169% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $206.71 to $206.36. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.64% from a day low at $204.57 to a day high of $207.92. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 8.09% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 85 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, 402 shares were bought and sold for approximately $82.96 thousand.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and 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 $207.50 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 33.11% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $228.47 and $276.21 at the end of this 3-month period.

0HTG.L Signals & Forecast

The Cardinal Health, 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 $203.87 and $173.01. 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 Friday, November 14, 2025, and so far it has fallen -0.169%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Cardinal Health, Inc. gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Cardinal Health, Inc. stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $190.91 and $185.00. 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, Cardinal Health, Inc. finds support just below today's level at $190.91. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $185.00 and $157.27.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $3.35 between high and low, or 1.64%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.25%.

The Cardinal Health, 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 stock 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: $201.89 (-2.16%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. The RSI14 is 95 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 1 day ago.)

Trading Expectations (0HTG.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Cardinal Health, Inc. to open at $206.28, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $203.58 and $209.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$5.56 (+/-2.73%) up or down from last closing price. If Cardinal Health, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.73% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $206.71 (0.17%) than the support at $190.91 (7.49%), 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.

Dividend Warning For 0HTG.L

Dividend coming up for 0HTG.L: Ex-dividend date (Friday 2nd January, 2026) is 44 days away. The dividend is $0.510.
