Weaker technical forecast for Staples, Inc as stock downgraded to Sell Candidate
(Updated on Jun 23, 2026)
The Staples, Inc stock price fell by -1.02% on the last day (Tuesday, 23rd Jun 2026) from $53.94 to $53.39. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.347% from a day low at $53.39 to a day high of $53.58. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.49% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 402 shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 2 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $80.83 thousand.
The stock lies in the lower part of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $53.05 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 3.25% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $54.77 and $57.43 at the end of this 3-month period.
SPLS Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Staples, 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 $54.07 and $53.73. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, June 15, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.22%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Staples, Inc gained volume on the last day, but on falling prices. In technical terms, this is called divergence and may be an early warning. In some cases, increasing volume on falling prices may be considered positive, but that is mainly in typical "sell-offs". The very low volume increases the risk and reduces the other technical signals issued.
