Why Is National Energy Services Stock Gaining Monday? - National Energy Services (NASDAQ:NESR)

NESR Wins $300M Multi-Year Cementing Deals

NESR 14.7% Below 20-Day SMA

NESR is trading 14.7% below its 20-day SMA ($23.05), but 14.2% above its 100-day SMA ($17.21), a classic “short-term cooling, longer-term uptrend intact” look. Shares are up 148.89% over the past 12 months and are positioned closer to their 52-week high ($26.85) than the low ($5.20), even after backing off the late-February top.

The RSI is at 34.32, which sits in neutral territory but closer to oversold conditions than overbought. Meanwhile, MACD is at -0.2981 and remains below its signal line at 0.4666, keeping bearish pressure in place as the stock tries to stabilize.

The combination of RSI in the 30–50 range and bearish MACD suggests mixed momentum.
