Should You Buy Dana Inc (DAN) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/28
Buy now for a beginner long-term investor. Despite today’s -2.54% regular-session dip, Dana’s trend structure is bullish (stacked moving averages), fundamentals are improving (cost savings + portfolio reshaping), and Wall Street has meaningfully raised price targets ($30–$36 range). Near ~$29 (pivot ~29.15), the risk/reward is favorable with clear upside catalysts (2026 guidance follow-through, buyback/backlog narrative, and upcoming events).
Technical Analysis
Trend is bullish overall: SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200 confirms an established uptrend. RSI(6) ~52.7 is neutral (not overbought), supporting the idea that the stock isn’t stretched. MACD histogram is positive (0.12) but contracting, implying upside momentum is cooling in the very near term—consistent with the recent pullback. Key levels: Pivot ~29.153 (current price ~29.15 is sitting right on it). Support S1 ~27.19 then S2 ~25.98. Resistance R1 ~31.12 then R2 ~32.33. A decisive move above ~31.1 would strengthen the next leg higher; losing ~27.2 would weaken the setup.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent analyst trend is decisively positive with multiple price target hikes in January 2026 following the FY25 pre-announcement and stronger 2026 guidance: Deutsche Bank raised PT to $36 (Buy), UBS to $35 (Buy), RBC to $32 (Outperform), Barclays to $32 (Overweight), Wells Fargo to $30 (Equal Weight). Wall Street pros: (a) above-consensus EBITDA and guidance, (b) visible cost savings/efficiency gains, (c) improved backlog and potential aftermarket expansion, (d) additional catalysts like Capital Markets Day and buyback framing. Cons: some firms still sit at more neutral stances (e.g., Equal Weight) reflecting cyclical risk and the need to prove sustained margin delivery. Overall Street posture is bullish and strengthening.
