Buy or Hold candidate since Jun 09, 2026 Gain 21.41%

The Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc stock price gained 6.14% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 7th Jul 2026), rising from $26.07 to $27.67. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.51% from a day low at $26.10 to a day high of $27.80. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 3.79% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 1 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $66.32 million.

The stock lies in the upper part of a very 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 $27.70 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 10.08% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $22.93 and $30.50 at the end of this 3-month period.
