The short term trend is neutral, while the long term trend is still negative. We need to see a little more continued positive action to make this really interesting.
81% of all other stocks performed better in the past year than KREF.
KREF is one of the lesser performing stocks in the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)" industry. 80% of 67 stocks in the same industry do better.
KREF is currently trading in the lower part of its 52 week range, which is not a good signal. Certainly not because the S&P500 Index is trading near new highs.
In the last month KREF has a been trading in the 8.99 - 9.54 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the high of this range.
KREF 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.
