Hub Group Stock Forecast
Hub Group stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on May 01, 2024)
The Hub Group stock price gained 1.99% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 1st May 2024), rising from $40.22 to $41.02. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.40% from a day low at $39.97 to a day high of $41.33. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.04% 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, 125 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 503 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $20.64 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a falling 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 $41.67 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -10.36% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $34.09 and $37.35 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.

HUBG Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.89%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Hub Group stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $41.14. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $40.31. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Hub Group stock

Trading Expectations (HUBG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 2nd
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 2nd we expect Hub Group to open at $40.77, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $39.92 and $42.12, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.10 (+/-2.68%) up or down from last closing price. If Hub Group takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.36% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $41.24 (0.54%) than the support at $40.50 (1.27%), 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.
Is Hub Group stock A Buy?
Hub Group holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
