Following the Tuesday earnings release, two Wall Street firms adjusted their outlooks on Velo3D stock.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Troy Jensen maintained an Overweight rating, which indicates the stock is expected to outperform its sector and reduced the price forecast from $17 to $12. Technical Analysis From a trend perspective, the stock is still in a clear bearish structure: it’s trading 26% below its 20-day SMA ($6.17) and 64.6% below its 200-day SMA ($12.91), which tells you rallies have recently been sold well before longer-term trend lines come back into play. The 20-day SMA sitting below the 50-day SMA, plus the death cross that occurred in August (50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA), reinforces that the longer-term bias remains down unless price can reclaim key moving averages. RSI is the cleaner momentum lens right now, with the indicator at 29.98—an oversold reading that often signals selling pressure has become stretched, and conditions are in place for a bounce or at least a pause. Key Resistance: $6.17 — the 20-day SMA is the nearest overhead trend line and a common "first test" level during oversold rebounds Key Support: $4.02 — the 52-week low zone from November 2025 is the key downside reference if the bounce fails VELO Price Action: Velo3D shares were up 3.63% at $4.57 during premarket trading on Friday. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $4.01, according to Benzinga Pro data.
