The Kirby Corporation stock price fell by -0.91% on the last day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026) from $132.34 to $131.14. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.20% from a day low at $130.93 to a day high of $133.81. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -9.03% 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 -113 thousand shares and in total, 523 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $68.59 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 $128.31 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -3.04% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $124.42 and $144.16 at the end of this 3-month period.

KEX Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.0534%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Kirby Corporation stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $140.40 and $140.33. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. 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.

Trading Expectations (KEX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Kirby Corporation to open at $131.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $128.95 and $133.33, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$4.37 (+/-3.39%) up or down from last closing price.
