Cintas Corporation Stock Forecast
Green day on Friday for Cintas Corporation stock after gaining 0.147%
(Updated on Apr 26, 2024)
The Cintas Corporation stock price gained 0.147% on the last trading day (Friday, 26th Apr 2024), rising from $665.25 to $666.23. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.19% from a day low at $661.12 to a day high of $668.96. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.33% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -15 thousand shares and in total, 272 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $181.01 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 lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $657.54 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 11.30% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $731.86 and $790.58 at the end of this 3-month period.

CTAS Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, March 28, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.03%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The Cintas Corporation 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 $664.38 and $655.92. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Cintas Corporation to open at $665.44, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $656.50 and $675.96, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$9.73 (+/-1.46%) up or down from last closing price.
