AMERICAN PUBLIC EDUCATION (APEI)
US02913V1035 - Common Stock
We assign a technical rating of 7 out of 10 to APEI. This is due to a consistent overall performance, although we see some doubts in the very recent evolution. In the medium time frame things are still looking good.
In the last month APEI has a been trading in the 12.24 - 15.50 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
The short term is neutral, but the long term trend is still positive. Not much to worry about for now.
APEI is one of the better performing stocks in the Diversified Consumer Services industry, it outperforms 92% of 65 stocks in the same industry.
APEI 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 APEI is performing more or less in line with the market.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that APEI is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 94% of all stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 4 months ago.
Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days.
APEI has an excellent technical rating, but the quality of the setup is only medium 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.
