Universal Display Corporation (OLED) stock has been upgraded from a sell candidate to a hold/accumulate candidate following a recent trading session on July 18, 2025. The stock price fell by -0.119% from $151.40 to $151.22, but this decline was accompanied by a decrease in trading volume, which is a positive sign as volume should follow the price movements [1].

The short-term trend for OLED remains strong, and the stock is expected to rise by 21.02% over the next three months, with a 90% probability of holding a price between $172.72 and $201.69 at the end of this period [1]. However, the stock holds several negative signals, including sell signals from both short and long-term moving averages and a sell signal from the 3-month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Despite these signals, the stock is considered a hold candidate due to the potential for a turnaround situation [1].

Universal Display Corporation finds support from accumulated volume at $144.02, which may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested [1]. The stock has very controlled movements and good liquidity, making the risk considered very low [1].
