The long and short term trends are both positive. This is looking good!
A new 52 week high is currently being made by KF, which is a very good signal! Especially since the S&P500 is only trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so KF is leading the market.

When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that KF is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 82% of all stocks. However, this overall good ranking is mostly due to the recent strong move.
Although KF has an excellent technical rating, it does not present a decent entry opportunity 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.
