The Carriage Services Inc stock price gained 1.07% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Apr 2024), rising from $23.32 to $23.57. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.11% from a day low at $23.20 to a day high of $23.69. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.68% for this period.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $23.33 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.
