QuoteLast week, Barclays upgraded GOOS to Equal Weight from Underweight, raising its price target to $14 from $11, citing a more balanced risk-reward profile. The firm acknowledged the company’s improved margin structure, operational discipline, and early signs of brand momentum as reasons to take a more neutral stance.The Technical TakeThe stock has doubled off the April lows, so many investors do not want to chase. However, this was a $40-50 stock in 2021, so there could be some more upside if the earnings momentum continues.After this big run, any pullback should be considered, but let us look at some technical levels that could be solid entry points.21-day moving average: $1250-day MA: $10.90200-day MA: $10.10Looking at Fibonacci support levels the halfway back mark is $10.55 and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement is $9.70. The sweet spot on any market sell off would be between that $9.70 level and $11.In SummaryIn conclusion, Canada Goose is showing clear signs of a turnaround, with strong earnings, improving margins, and renewed investor confidence helping to fuel a sharp rebound in the stock.While shares have already doubled off the April lows, the long-term setup remains compelling, especially with management leaning into brand investment, product expansion, and operational execution. Near-term volatility or pullbacks could offer more attractive entry points, particularly around key technical support zones.7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 DaysJust released: Experts distill 7 elite stocks from the current list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys.
