State Street stock forecast: Third-party price targets

State Street has shown mixed performance amid this week’s broader earnings season activity for major financial institutions.

The price movement comes as State Street approaches its third-quarter 2025 earnings release, scheduled for 17 October 2025 (State Street, 16 September 2025). Trading sentiment remains supported by the recent completion of its acquisition of Mizuho Financial Group’s offshore custody business, which added approximately $580bn in assets under custody and $24bn in assets under administration (Mizuho, 2 October 2025).

STT stock price: Technical overview

State Street (STT) was trading at $114.09 as of 9:06am UTC on 14 October 2025, holding above its key moving average cluster around the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day SMAs at approximately 114, 113, 108 and 101, with a 20-over-50 alignment remaining intact, indicating a constructive intermediate trend. Momentum appears neutral to mixed, with the 14-day RSI at 49.88 in neutral territory and the ADX at 23.59 suggesting a developing, though not yet established, trend.

The first area to watch on the upside is the $119.27 pivot zone (R1). A decisive daily close above this level would bring the $122.54 mark back into view and, if sustained, could reopen the path towards $130.28, representing the upper pivot resistance. The stock is currently testing shorter-term moving averages, with the 10-day and 20-day averages acting as near-term resistance around $115–$114.

On pullbacks, initial support lies near the $114.80 pivot level, followed by the 50-day SMA at around $113. A move below the 100-day SMA near $108 would weaken the intermediate trend and increase the risk of a deeper decline towards the 200-day average around $101. The MACD level at 0.61 signals a potential short-term consolidation, despite the broader upward bias implied by longer-term moving averages (TradingView, 14 October 2025).
