In the last month AP has a been trading in the 2.74 - 3.95 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
The long term trend is neutral, but the short term trend is negative. Better to stay away from this!
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that AP is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 84% of all stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.

AP is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so AP is lagging the market.
The technical rating of AP is bad and it also does not present a quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
