Should You Buy Five Below Inc (FIVE) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/28
Buy now for a long-term beginner portfolio. FIVE just pulled back sharply toward key support (~181–186) after a strong fundamental quarter and a clear run of analyst price-target increases. Short-term momentum is weak, but the setup favors a rebound/accumulation entry for an investor who doesn’t want to wait for a perfect timing window.
Technical Analysis
Price action is weak in the very near term (post-market -2.0% and trading below the pivot 192.85), but it is approaching support where dip-buying often shows up. Key levels: S1=185.58 and S2=181.08 (current close 181.72 is very near S2), with resistance at 192.85 then 200.12. MACD histogram is negative (-2.456) and expanding, confirming downside momentum, but RSI(6)=27.16 signals oversold conditions (often precedes mean reversion). Moving averages are converging, suggesting the prior uptrend is pausing and may transition to consolidation if support holds.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent analyst trend is improving: multiple firms raised price targets after the strong quarter (Wells Fargo to $200, Loop to $200, Morgan Stanley to $190, JPMorgan to $197, UBS to $210, Barclays to $193, Bernstein to $179) and Truist upgraded to Buy with a $216 target; Deutsche resumed with Buy and a $242 target. Wall Street pros: sustainable sales momentum, better execution/merchandising, and value positioning with potential 2026 macro tailwinds. Cons: some still sit at Equal Weight/Market Perform, citing tougher comps and tariff/macro uncertainty. Net view: skew is positive with rising targets and several Buy/Overweight ratings.
