HRL — Hormel Foods Corporation

Last scan (Sept. 16, 2026): price $20.79, RSI 28.84, relative volume 0.66x, MACD ⚪ No, score 56.10.

It's trading below its 200-day average, with an RSI of 28.84 in oversold territory — technically weak, though that can also signal the pessimism is already priced in. Neither the MACD nor a range breakout gives a technical entry signal right now. Relative volume of 0.66x is below normal — little interest today. The analysts' average target price implies +25.6% upside — one of the score's strongest signals.
