On Oct 15, 2026, our model rated Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (CBSH) WEAK BUY with 13% confidence at a price of $54.42. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 38. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price has slipped below its 50-day moving average but is still above the 200-day: a pullback inside a longer-term uptrend.
Volume is about normal (1.0x the 20-day average).
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure: ranging / no clear structure.
The most recent swing high is $60.63 and the swing low is $46.52; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bullish order block, a zone where large buyers stepped in before.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 2.06, which looks expensive relative to its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 31.6% and revenue growth of +14.2%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.10 per share, which beat the $1.05 analysts expected, with revenue +14.7% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 2.7 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "hold", with an average price target of $65.56.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $55.08, a target of $56.29 (+2.2%) and a stop-loss at $53.14 (-3.5%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 0.6 to 1: the potential loss is bigger than the gain, a weak setup.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Oct 25, 2026 whatever the price does.
