Will Baxter Stock Rebound After A 9% Fall In A Month?

Baxter stock (NYSE: BAX) has seen a fall of 9% in a month, while it is down 42% this year. This compares with -5% and -20% returns for the broader S&P500 index over the same periods, respectively. The broader markets have been falling of late on positive economic data, which implies that the Fed may have to continue to increase interest rates, likely resulting in a recession in 2023. Baxter also faces risks from a recession, primarily a decline in hospital spending that could weigh on its sales growth.

But now that BAX stock has seen a 9% fall in a month, will it continue its downward trajectory, or is a rise imminent? Going by historical performance, there is a higher chance of an increase in BAX stock over the next month. BAX stock has seen a move of -9% or more 111 times in the last ten years. Of those, 63 resulted in BAX stock rising over the subsequent one-month period (twenty-one trading days).
