Knowing exactly what drives relative strength in share prices (as well as how to find shares with good strength) can help you find profitable trading ideas.
In terms of relative price strength the stock has performed well against the market over the past year:
- 1 Month: 46.3%
- 6 Months: 177.6%
- 12 Months: 460.2%
Why does that matter? Relative strength is a useful tool for technical traders and investors, providing an instant measure of how a stock has performed in comparison with a benchmark.
Studies by leading experts on momentum show that stocks with the strongest price strength tend to keep up the pace for anywhere up to one year as investors increasingly buy in to them.
Finding shares with a given relative price against your local share index is best done with a screening tool, which helps you discover shares you may have never heard of.
