LKQ Corporation stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Jul 24, 2026)

Hold candidate since Jul 24, 2026

The LKQ Corporation stock price gained 4.03% on the last trading day (Friday, 24th Jul 2026), rising from $24.82 to $25.82. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.87% from a day low at $24.96 to a day high of $25.92. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 1.73% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -2 million shares and in total, 2 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $47.97 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 middle of a very wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -11.80% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $19.20 and $24.71 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.

LKQ Signals & Forecast

The LKQ Corporation stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $25.31 and $25.67. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, and so far it has risen 5.22%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
