MD is one of the better performing stocks in the Health Care Providers & Services industry, it outperforms 80% of 100 stocks in the same industry.
The short term trend is negative, but the long term trend is still positive. So although the long term is still positive, this may be a trend turning.
Looking at the yearly performance, MD did better than 85% of all other stocks. However, this overall good ranking is mostly due to the recent strong move.
MD is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is currently trading near new highs, so MD is lagging the market.
MD has an average technical rating and it also does not offer a high quality setup 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.
