Mesa Laboratories Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Nov 14, 2025 Loss -3.14%

The Mesa Laboratories stock price fell by -3.14% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $73.94 to $71.62. It has now fallen 5 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.16% from a day low at $70.79 to a day high of $74.44. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.62% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 95 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 183 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $13.08 million.

The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $69.07 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 18.16% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $81.62 and $97.87 at the end of this 3-month period.
