- Risk: high
- 9/10High risk
Summary
Jack in the Box Inc. is priced at $13.06, and its moving averages give no clean directional read — the structure is neutral. Across the trailing 30 sessions it lost 24.9%. Relative strength is 32.3 — approaching oversold — and the MACD signal is bearish. The recent range runs from support at $12.91 up to resistance at $18.39.
On valuation the read is undervalued — an earnings multiple of 4.1, absent a reliable peer benchmark. Analyst price targets sit 53.1% above the current price. The 15.71% dividend yield looks stretched against payout coverage.
Risk scores 9 out of 10, which is high for this asset class. With 30-day volatility of 59.9%, a beta of 1.38 and a maximum drawdown of 60.0%, position sizing matters more than entry timing here. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 95 on the fear-greed composite.
The horizons line up on hold — conviction 1 out of 10.
