  • Warning: ACU has an average volume of 13766 traded shares per day. This is quite low and it might be dangerous to invest in illiquid stocks.
  • The long term trend is positive and the short term trend is neutral. The long term trend gets the benefit of the doubt for now.

  • ACU is one of the better performing stocks in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry, it outperforms 81% of 189 stocks in the same industry.
  • ACU is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index is also trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so ACU is performing more or less in line with the market.
  • In the last month ACU has a been trading in the 40.77 - 47.31 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range where prices have been consolidating recently, this may present a good entry opportunity, but some resistance may be present above.
