We assign a technical rating of 8 out of 10 to NKSH. Although NKSH is only a medium performer in the overall market, the technical picture looks good in both the medium and short term time frames.
Although NKSH 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.
