Overall LAC gets a technical rating of 1 out of 10. LAC has been an average performer in the overall market. Also recent evolutions are not that positive: both the medium and short term time frames give negative signs.
- Both the long and short term trends are negative. It is better to avoid buying stocks with negative trends.
- LAC is one of the lesser performing stocks in the Metals & Mining industry. 72% of 156 stocks in the same industry do better.
- LAC 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 LAC has a been trading in the 4.36 - 6.96 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
- LAC has an average volume of 14452600 traded shares per day. This is a good sign as it is always nice to have a liquid stock.
- When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that LAC is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 79% 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.
LAC 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.
