Zooming in on the technicals.

ChartMill assigns a proprietary Technical Rating to each stock. The score is computed daily by evaluating various technical indicators and properties. The score ranges from 0 to 10.

Overall HRB gets a technical rating of 8 out of 10. In the last year, HRB was one of the better performers, but we do observe some doubts in the very recent evolution.

  • The long term trend is positive and the short term trend is neutral. The long term trend may just continue or reversal may be around the corner!
  • When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that HRB is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 98% of all stocks. On top of that, HRB also shows a nice and consistent pattern of rising prices.
  • HRB is one of the better performing stocks in the Diversified Consumer Services industry, it outperforms 98% of 70 stocks in the same industry.
  • HRB is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. This is a good signal, certainly because the S&P500 Index is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range.

Looking at the Setup

Besides the Technical Rating, ChartMill also assign a Setup Rating to every stock. This setup score also ranges from 0 to 10 and determines to which extend the stock is consolidating. This is achieved by evaluating multiple short term technical indicators. NYSE:HRB currently has a 9 as setup rating:

HRB has an excellent technical rating and also presents a decent setup pattern. Prices have been consolidating lately. A pullback is taking place, which may present a nice opportunity for an entry. There is very little resistance above the current price. There is a support zone below the current price at 43.99, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for HRB in the last couple of days, which is a good sign.

How can NYSE:HRB be traded?

One way to play this would be to wait for the actual breakout to happen and buy when the stock breaks out above the current consolidation zone. A possible place for a stop loss would be below this zone.
