Patterson Companies stock upgraded to Sell Candidate.
(Updated on May 24, 2024)
The Patterson Companies stock price gained 0.546% on the last trading day (Friday, 24th May 2024), rising from $23.81 to $23.94. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.37% from a day low at $23.68 to a day high of $24.01. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.38% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -229 thousand shares and in total, 869 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $20.80 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 lower of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $23.77 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -9.66% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $21.47 and $23.63 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.

PDCO Signals & Forecast
A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, May 23, 2024, and so far it has risen 0.546%. 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. The Patterson Companies stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average.
