On Nov 4, 2026, our model rated Innospec Inc. (IOSP) WEAK BUY with 17% confidence at a price of $99.23. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Analysed price$99.23
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 61, showing healthy upward momentum without being stretched.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is about normal (1.2x the 20-day average).
Trend structure and money flow
Market structure shows a bullish break of structure (BOS): price broke a recent swing high in the direction of the trend, which usually signals trend continuation.
The most recent swing high is $91.07 and the swing low is $64.75; traders often treat these as resistance and support.
Price is sitting in a bearish order block, a zone where large sellers stepped in before, so upside may stall here.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 0.66, which looks cheap relative to its expected growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 6.6% and revenue growth of +11.8%.
In its latest quarter it earned $1.29 per share, which beat the $1.26 analysts expected, with revenue +11.8% year over year.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $99.23, a target of $101.66 (+2.4%) and a stop-loss at $95.51 (-3.7%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 0.7 to 1: the potential loss is bigger than the gain, a weak setup.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Nov 14, 2026 whatever the price does.
