Perrigo Company plc Stock Forecast
Perrigo Company plc stock upgraded to Hold/Accumulate.
(Updated on Apr 24, 2024)
The Perrigo Company plc stock price gained 2.43% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 24th Apr 2024), rising from $30.49 to $31.23. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 3.46% from a day low at $30.24 to a day high of $31.29. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.98% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -171 thousand shares and in total, 942 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $29.41 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 stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $31.97 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -4.21% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $24.34 and $30.62 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.

PRGO Signals & Forecast
The Perrigo Company plc stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $30.36 and $30.81. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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 Tuesday, April 09, 2024, and so far it has fallen -3.07%. 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).
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Perrigo Company plc stock
On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $27.30 and $26.41. 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, Perrigo Company plc finds support just below today's level at $27.30. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $26.41 and $26.33.
This stock is usually traded at a good volume, and with minor daily changes, the risk is considered to be low. During the last day, the stock moved $1.05 (3.46%) between high and low. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.66%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $29.95 (-4.09%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 11 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (PRGO) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 25th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 25th we expect Perrigo Company plc to open at $30.92, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $30.44 and $32.02, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.788 (+/-2.52%) up or down from last closing price. If Perrigo Company plc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 5.05% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $32.03 (2.56%) than the support at $27.30 (12.58%), 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.
