Southwest Gas Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Nov 07, 2025 Loss -0.26%

The Southwest Gas Corporation stock price fell by -2.05% on the last day (Monday, 17th Nov 2025) from $81.30 to $79.63. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.15% from a day low at $79.49 to a day high of $81.20. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -1.65% 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 -34 thousand shares and in total, 343 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $27.29 million.

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 $79.17 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 3.96% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $82.31 and $86.06 at the end of this 3-month period.

SWX Signals & Forecast

The Southwest Gas Corporation stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $80.58. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $79.55. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, November 06, 2025, and so far it has risen 1.01%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, October 17, 2025 in the short-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Trading Expectations (SWX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect Southwest Gas Corporation to open at $80.11, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $78.79 and $80.47, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.68 (+/-2.14%) up or down from last closing price. If Southwest Gas Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.14% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $79.84 (0.26%) than the support at $79.33 (0.38%), 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.
