Leidos Holdings Inc stock upgraded from Buy Candidate to Strong Buy Candidate after Wednesday trading session.
(Updated on Mar 27, 2024)

Buy or Hold candidate since Dec 21, 2023 Gain 22.47% PDF

The Leidos Holdings Inc stock price gained 0.91% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 27th Mar 2024), rising from $129.36 to $130.54. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.86% from a day low at $129.61 to a day high of $130.73. The price has risen in 5 of the last 10 days and is up by 1.93% 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, 68 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 633 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $82.64 million.

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 $129.50 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 25.20% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $162.14 and $171.01 at the end of this 3-month period.
