# Why Urban-Gro Stock Is Rising After Lanka Premier League Update

**Urban-gro Inc** (NASDAQ:UGRO) shares rose during the Thursday premarket session, but dipped after the commercial services business gained scheduling clarity for Lanka Premier League Season 6.

## Tournament Schedule Confirmed

Sri Lanka Cricket confirmed the tournament will run from July 10 to August 5, 2026, with matches across four venues: SSC and R. Premadasa stadiums in Colombo, Pallekele in Kandy, and Rangiri Dambulla.

The foreign player registration portal is set to open on May 4, 2026, with Samantha Dodanwela serving as Tournament Director.

The league is owned by Sri Lanka Cricket and conducted with Innovative Production Group FZ, LLC (IPG), where Urban-Gro participates through its event-partnership business under existing commercial arrangements tied to media, sponsorship, and on-ground activations.

## Urban-Gro Strategy And Outlook

Season 6 marks the first full cycle following IPG's integration into Urban-Gro's operations. Revenues will depend on contractual terms and overall tournament outcomes.

Additional elements include a potential player pool of 500 to 600 athletes. The possible appointment of Chris Gayle as brand ambassador remains subject to approvals.

"With the tournament dates and venues now confirmed, the focus turns to player registration opening in May and building out the commercial, broadcast, and on-ground plan for Season 6," said **Anil Mohan,** CEO of The IPG Group.

## Key Levels To Watch

Urban-gro is trading well below its 52-week high of $37.00 and above its low of $2.02. This positioning frames the current move as a recovery attempt rather than a full trend reset.

The stock is 43.4% below its 20-day SMA, signaling weak near-term momentum. It remains 32% above its 100-day SMA, indicating an improving intermediate base.

The MACD is below its signal line, with a negative histogram, indicating fading upside momentum. This setup suggests recent gains may be losing strength after the latest move higher.

It aligns with a bearish MACD cross seen in May 2025, showing momentum has reversed before.

-   **Key Resistance**: $10.50 — an area where recent rallies have tended to stall
-   **Key Support**: $9.50 — a level where buyers have recently shown up

**UGRO Stock Price Activity:** Urban-gro shares were up 3.36% at $9.84 during premarket trading on Thursday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
