Hess Stock Forecast

Hess stock upgraded from Buy Candidate to Strong Buy Candidate after Wednesday trading session.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)

HES Signals & Forecast

The Hess 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 $154.21 and $152.09. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, and so far it has risen 5.90%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. 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).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Hess stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $145.32 and $143.02. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Hess finds support just below today's level at $145.32. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $143.02 and $142.07.

In general the stock tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the stock moved $3.24 between high and low, or 2.08%. For the last week the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.98%.

Since the Hess has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. We don't expect a major reaction as the stock is in very good shape technically, and therefore hold a positive evaluation despite the very short term risk.

Our recommended stop-loss: $152.44 (-4.21%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 6 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (HES) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Hess Corporation to open at $158.11, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $156.16 and $162.10, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.97 (+/-1.87%) up or down from last closing price. If Hess Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.73% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ $145.32, some $13.81 (8.68%) from the current price of $159.13, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is Hess Corporation stock A Buy?

Hess holds several positive signals and is within a weak rising trend. As the old saying says, "Let the trend be your friend.'". We therefore consider it to be a good choice at these current levels and we are expecting further gains during the next 3 months. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Strong Buy candidate.

Current score: 5.293 Strong Buy Candidate Upgraded
