Churchill Downs stock price ended at $83.75 on Thursday, after gaining 1.96%
(Updated on Jul 23, 2026)
The Churchill Downs stock price gained 1.96% on the last trading day (Thursday, 23rd Jul 2026), rising from $82.14 to $83.75. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.65% from a day low at $81.11 to a day high of $84.07. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.76% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 423 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 957 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $80.13 million.
The stock lies in the lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $81.98 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -9.55% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $74.15 and $83.15 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.
