Scotts Miracle-gro Company (the) Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jun 12, 2026 Gain 11.64%

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) stock price gained 0.408% on the last trading day (Thursday, 2nd Jul 2026), rising from $68.57 to $68.85. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.27% from a day low at $68.10 to a day high of $69.64. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 9.79% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -314 thousand shares and in total, 448 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $30.87 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 stockis at the upper part of a wide and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $69.99 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $57.97 and $71.26 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

SMG Signals & Forecast

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $68.71 and $61.49. 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). 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, June 26, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.52%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $62.42 and $60.06.

During the last day, the stock moved $1.55 between high and low, or 2.27%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.93%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $66.40 (-3.57%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 4 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (SMG) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) to open at $68.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $67.56 and $70.14, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.57 (+/-3.81%) up or down from last closing price. If Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (The) takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.81% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $69.33 (0.70%) than the support at $62.42 (9.34%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
