September 8, 2026 in numbers
Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (ISIN US1591881009, NYSE: CRL) ended the September 8, 2026 session at 283.98 USD on the NYSE, compared with an average analyst target around 281 USD cited in recent coverage, so the close stood slightly above that reference level as noted by ad-hoc-news. The intraday range between roughly 280 USD and 287 USD placed the close within the upper half of the day’s band, and within the existing one year range between 144.26 USD and 303.30 USD mentioned in a recent institutional holding update from MarketBeat. That positioning leaves the stock below its one year high yet significantly above its one year low, underlining that the recent pullback of 1.4% on September 8, 2026 occurred within a still-elevated trading band.
Trading activity remained supported by institutional flows earlier in the week, including moves by asset managers that adjusted their exposure to Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. as documented by MarketBeat. While these filings relate to prior transactions rather than the September 8, 2026 tape itself, they frame the recent session close against a backdrop of portfolio rebalancing by large investors. Combined with the 0.8% decline of the Dow Jones Industrial Average on September 8, 2026, the 1.4% drop in Charles River Labs stock that day reflected both stock specific positioning and the broader risk-off tone in US equities reported by Zacks.
