Select Medical (NYSE: SEM) has recently triggered several bearish indicators on its 15-minute chart, signaling potential further declines in stock price. On August 15, 2025, at 11:45, the stock experienced a MACD Death Cross, Bollinger Bands Narrowing, and KDJ Death Cross. These technical indicators suggest a momentum shift towards the downside, with a decreasing magnitude of price fluctuations [1].

The MACD Death Cross indicates a bearish trend reversal, while the KDJ Death Cross signals a shift in market sentiment, with buyers losing their grip on the market. The Bollinger Bands Narrowing further supports this bearish trend by suggesting a decline in the magnitude of price fluctuations [2].

Mizuho Financial Group recently lowered its price target for Select Medical to $18.00 from $21.00, maintaining an Outperform rating. The firm cited disappointing second-quarter 2025 earnings, with particular pressure in the company’s critical illness recovery hospital (LTCH) segment, which continues to face challenges from the Medicare high-cost outlier threshold and the 20% transmittal rule [3].

Despite these challenges, Select Medical’s inpatient rehabilitation (IRF) segment remains a bright spot in the company’s operations. Mizuho expects the IRF segment to continue driving growth for Select Medical, supporting its decision to maintain an Outperform rating despite the reduced price target [3].

Select Medical reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, showing a mixed performance. The company achieved a significant earnings per share (EPS) of $0.60, which was a substantial 150% above the forecast of $0.24. However, the revenue fell short of expectations, coming in at $1.28 billion compared to the anticipated $1.34 billion [3].

Investors are advised to exercise caution and diligent risk management in the face of these bearish indicators. The market's current state of paralysis, awaiting the quarterly results of ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, and Reliance Industries, scheduled for release this weekend, may further exacerbate volatility [3].
