John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Nov 13, 2025 Loss -1.08%

The John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund stock price fell by -1.15% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $13.00 to $12.85. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.44% from a day low at $12.85 to a day high of $13.04. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -0.93% for this period. 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 -14 thousand shares and in total, 123 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.58 million.

The stock lies in the lower of a narrow and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $12.80 is broken, it will firstly indicate a stronger fall rate. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -3.60% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $12.34 and $12.69 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.
