Daktronics Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Jul 16, 2026

The Daktronics stock price fell by -1.67% on the last day (Thursday, 16th Jul 2026) from $19.76 to $19.43. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.42% from a day low at $19.03 to a day high of $19.68. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.26% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -68 thousand shares and in total, 402 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $7.82 million.

The stock lies in the lower part of a weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $19.33 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 2.34% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $19.79 and $21.59 at the end of this 3-month period.

DAKT Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Daktronics stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $19.95 and $20.01. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 09, 2026, and so far it has fallen -5.31%. 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). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Daktronics stock

Daktronics finds support from accumulated volume at $19.35 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $0.650 (3.42%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.37%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $18.34 (-5.59%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (DAKT) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Friday 17th

For the upcoming trading day on Friday, 17th we expect Daktronics to open at $19.38, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $18.97 and $19.89, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.91 (+/-4.82%) up or down from last closing price. If Daktronics takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.82% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $19.46 (0.15%) than the support at $19.35 (0.41%), 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.
