Wabash National Corp (WNC) is not a strong buy for a beginner long-term investor at this time. While the technical indicators show some bullish signs, the company's financial performance is weak, hedge funds are selling, and there are no significant positive catalysts or recent news to support a strong upward move. It is better to hold off for now and monitor the stock for better entry points.
The stock shows bullish moving averages (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), a positive MACD histogram (0.0267), and RSI at 66.951 in the neutral zone. Key resistance levels are R1: 12.616 and R2: 13.188, while support levels are S1: 10.768 and S2: 10.196. The stock has a 70% chance to increase 4.34% in the next week and 5.05% in the next month.

The stock has a bullish technical setup with a chance of modest gains in the short term. Analyst DA Davidson raised the price target from $9 to $11.

In Q4 2025, revenue dropped to $321.45M (-22.88% YoY), net income increased to -$49.88M (+4742.52% YoY), and EPS improved to -1.23 (+6050.00% YoY). Gross margin dropped to -2.81% (-129.24% YoY). Overall, financial performance is weak despite some improvement in net income and EPS.
DA Davidson raised the price target to $11 from $9 but maintained a Neutral rating. The company faces challenging freight-market conditions and lacks forward guidance, which limits positive sentiment.
