Piper Sandler initiated coverage with a Neutral rating and a $9 price forecast. Technical Analysis RCAT is trading well below its major moving averages, which keeps the longer-term trend pointed down: about 16% below the 20-day SMA ($8.58), about 17% below the 50-day SMA ($8.66), about 27% below the 100-day SMA ($9.84), and about 35% below the 200-day SMA ($11.02). With the 20-day SMA below the 50-day SMA and the death cross (50-day below 200-day) in June, rallies tend to face overhead supply from traders looking to exit into strength. Zooming out, the sector has been trending lower recently (down 8.72% over 30 days and down 5.99% over 90 days), which can keep investors selective within the group. In that environment, stocks already below key moving averages can get hit harder on down days, because traders prioritize names showing relative strength. RCAT Stock Price Activity: Red Cat Holdings shares were down 9.42% at $7.21 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
