Why Is Byrna (BYRN) Stock Soaring Today

What Happened?

Shares of non-lethal weapons company Byrna (NASDAQ:BYRN) jumped 7.1% in the afternoon session after investors reacted to technical indicators suggesting the stock was oversold and due for a rebound, a view supported by positive analyst sentiment. The move followed a period where the stock had declined 11.2% over the previous four weeks. This drop pushed a technical indicator known as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to a reading of 29.16. An RSI below 30 is often interpreted by traders as a sign that a stock is oversold, meaning the selling pressure might have been exhausted and a price reversal could be near.

What Is The Market Telling Us

Byrna’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 60 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.

The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock dropped 3.2% on the news that major indices pulled back from record highs reached the previous week. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were under pressure as the dominant artificial intelligence trade cooled off. Notable names like Nvidia were down as traders locked in profits following a banner year where the Nasdaq surged over 20%. With the S&P 500 recently hitting intraday highs near 6,945, this dip reflected a shift in internal momentum rather than a response to major economic news.

Byrna is down 39.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $17.20 per share, it is trading 49.7% below its 52-week high of $34.19 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Byrna’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,154.
