Should You Buy Klarna Group PLC (KLAR) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/30
KLAR is not a good buy right now for an impatient investor. Price action is in a strong downtrend (bearish MA stack and expanding negative MACD) and the stock just closed below the first support level, while near-term headlines are dominated by IPO-related class-action lawsuit risk ahead of the next earnings catalyst (Feb 19). Even though RSI is extremely oversold and options positioning is mildly call-leaning, there is no Intellectia buy signal to override the bearish trend, and the path of least resistance remains down over the next several sessions.
Technical Analysis
Trend is decisively bearish. Moving averages are stacked bearishly (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5), confirming sustained downside momentum. MACD histogram is -0.416 and negatively expanding, signaling weakening momentum is still accelerating to the downside. RSI_6 at 17.49 indicates extreme oversold conditions (a bounce is possible), but oversold can persist in strong downtrends. Price closed at 24.1985, below S1 (24.501), meaning prior support has already been lost; next key support is S2 at 22.772. Any rebound faces overhead resistance near the pivot 27.3 and then 30.099.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Analyst stance is broadly positive but being de-risked via target cuts. Since the Q3 report (mid/late Nov 2025), multiple firms kept bullish ratings (Buy/Outperform/Overweight), yet nearly all reduced price targets: Citi to $45 (from $58), JPMorgan to $45 (from $50), UBS to $46 (from $48), Wolfe to $45 (from $50), BofA to $46 (from $51), and Keefe Bruyette to $45 (from $52). Morgan Stanley remains more cautious (Equal Weight) with a $39 target (from $43). Wall Street pros: strong GMV/revenue momentum, merchant expansion, card momentum, and operating leverage potential. Cons: credit durability/provisions and valuation reset risk, now compounded by IPO lawsuit headlines. Politician/congress trading: no recent congress trading data available; no notable politician buying/selling provided.
Wall Street analysts forecast KLAR stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for KLAR is 44.36 USD with a low forecast of 36 USD and a high forecast of 55 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
