Tempus AI (TEM) Stock Price Prediction: Pullback tests support after record-quarter growth and mixed positioning

What changed

Tempus AI (TEM) is trading through a modest pullback after a strong quarterly update. Yahoo Finance said the company reported a strong Q3, with revenue up 23% and adjusted EPS of $0.07, while management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $1.60 billion to $1.605 billion. Tempus’ own Nov. 2 release said Q3 revenue reached $411.5 million, led by 32% unit growth in oncology and 33% revenue growth in Data & Applications. citeturn0search1turn0search3

That matters because the stock is no longer being driven only by top-line growth; it is also being judged on whether that growth can keep translating into scale, margin durability and execution. Yahoo Finance also flagged the main overhangs: reimbursement, valuation and profitability risk. citeturn0search1

Analyst stance is constructive, but not unanimous

Analyst coverage remains positive on balance, though the message is mixed. StockAnalysis said 20 analysts polled by S&P Global show a consensus “Buy” rating with an average price target of $89.56, versus a low of $70 and a high of $120. MarketBeat, however, cited a broader broker set with a consensus “Hold” rating across 22 brokerages and an average target of $79.37. citeturn0search0turn0search2

Needham lifted its target to $89 from $75 on Nov. 2, citing Tempus’ Q3 results, revenue and adjusted EBITDA beat, and data-business momentum. It also pointed to more than $550 million in bookings year to date, including wins and extensions from Merck and Bristol Myers Squibb. citeturn0search2

Price action and technical structure

TEM last traded at $78.23 after a 5.93% 24-hour drop, with the 24-hour range marked by $85.11 at the high and $77.59 at the low. The stock remains above its 20-day SMA of $74.27 and 50-day SMA of $73.68, while the 7-day SMA sits just above price at $78.53. That keeps the intermediate trend constructive, but near-term momentum has cooled. citeturn0search4

The broader setup is still leaning bullish: RSI at 55.74 is neutral, MACD is positive with a flat histogram, and the price sits well above the Bollinger middle band at $74.27. Key levels from the tape are straightforward: immediate support at $75.51, strong support at $72.79, immediate resistance at $83.03, and stronger resistance at $87.83. citeturn0search4

In practical terms, the stock looks like it is digesting gains rather than breaking trend. A hold above the $75.51 area keeps the pullback within the moving-average structure; a clean move back through $83.03 would put the $87.83 resistance zone back in play. citeturn0search4

Binance Futures positioning: cautious, not euphoric

The derivatives tape is not screaming momentum exhaustion, but it is showing some unwinding. Binance Futures data puts funding at 0.0000%, which is neutral, while open interest fell 12.49% over 24 hours to 4,964.90 contracts, suggesting position closing or liquidations rather than fresh conviction. citeturn0search4

The long/short split is mildly constructive: Binance global accounts were 58.2% long versus 41.8% short, and top-trader accounts were 60.3% long versus 39.7% short. Taker flow was also leaning to the buy side, with a 1.1822 taker buy/sell ratio. That supports the idea of underlying dip-buying, but it does not override the fact that open interest is shrinking. citeturn0search4

What would invalidate the setup

The current structure weakens if TEM loses the $75.51 support zone and fails to stabilize near the $72.79 strong-support level. On the upside, the stock needs to reclaim the $83.03 resistance area to reassert post-earnings momentum and make the $87.83 ceiling more relevant.
