We assign a technical rating of 2 out of 10 to HIFS. Although HIFS is scoring some points because its good overall performance in the market in the past year, recent evolutions are not that positive. Both the medium and short term picture give negative signs.
Both the long and short term trends are negative. It is better to avoid buying stocks with negative trends.
In the last month HIFS has a been trading in the 223.68 - 273.50 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days. In combination with the strong move down this is a bad signal.
Looking at the yearly performance, HIFS did better than 82% of all other stocks. However, this overall performance is mostly based on the strong move around 10 months ago.
HIFS is an average performer in the Banks industry, it outperforms 69% of 396 stocks in the same industry.
HIFS is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so HIFS is lagging the market.
HIFS has a poor technical rating and the quality of the setup is also not perfect 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.
