The Newpark Resources Inc stock price fell by -0.95% on the last day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024) from $7.33 to $7.26. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.16% from a day low at $7.16 to a day high of $7.32. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -4.72% for this period.

The Newpark Resources Inc 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 $7.33 and $7.29. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals.
