Nexstar Broadcasting Group Stock Forecast

Buy candidate since Jul 01, 2026 Loss -1.08%

The Nexstar Broadcasting Group stock price fell by -1.84% on the last day (Tuesday, 7th Jul 2026) from $182.78 to $179.42. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.52% from a day low at $179.22 to a day high of $187.32. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 9.4% over the past 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 -22 thousand shares and in total, 394 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $70.76 million.

The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $182.22 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -15.76% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $127.03 and $153.51 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.

NXST Signals & Forecast

The Nexstar Broadcasting Group 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 $176.85 and $178.32. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, July 06, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.84%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.
