Should You Buy LegalZoom.com Inc (LZ) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/30
LZ is NOT a good buy right now for an impatient buyer. The chart trend is still bearish (stacked bearish moving averages and negative MACD), hedge-fund flow is strongly negative, and options activity shows near-term defensive/put-heavy trading despite call-heavy open interest. With the stock at ~$9.12 (near key resistance $9.40 and close to several Street targets), the risk/reward is not attractive enough to justify an immediate entry.

Technical Analysis
Trend remains bearish: SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5 indicates persistent downside structure. MACD histogram is negative (-0.0309) and still below zero, suggesting downside momentum remains in control (even if contracting). RSI(6) ~48.6 is neutral, implying no strong oversold bounce signal right now.
Key levels: Pivot 8.953 is the immediate balance point; price at ~9.12 is only slightly above it. Resistance sits at R1 9.396 then R2 9.67—bulls likely need a clean push/close above ~9.40 to improve near-term trend. Support is S1 8.51 (then S2 8.236). Given the bearish MA stack, a drift back toward 8.95/8.51 is plausible if buyers don’t reclaim 9.40.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent Street trend is mixed-to-cautious with one notable positive shift:
- 2025-11-06: William Blair upgraded to Outperform (no PT), citing beat-and-raise and accelerating subscription growth; sees improving risk/reward.
- 2025-11-13: Morgan Stanley kept Underweight, raised PT to $9 from $8.50 (still negative stance; PT is ~at the current price).
- 2025-11-21: Citi kept Neutral, cut PT to $10.50 from $12 (tempering upside expectations).
Wall Street pros: improving growth trajectory and better subscription momentum; potential for sentiment re-rate if margin/EPS re-accelerates. Cons: at least one major bank remains Underweight, and PT actions suggest capped upside (current price already near the bearish PT and not far below the neutral PT), consistent with a ‘wait-and-see’ stance rather than an aggressive buy.
