Assured Guaranty Trying To Close In On Key Technical Benchmark

Assured Guaranty had its Relative Strength (RS) Rating upgraded from 64 to 71 Friday — a welcome improvement, but still shy of the 80 or better score you prefer to see.

IBD's unique RS Rating identifies technical performance by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that identifies how a stock's price performance over the trailing 52 weeks matched up against all other stocks.

Decades of market research reveals that the market's biggest winners typically have an RS Rating north of 80 as they begin their largest runs. See if Assured Guaranty can continue to show renewed price strength and clear that threshold.

The company earns the No. 29 rank among its peers in the Insurance-Property/Casualty/Title industry group. Kinsale Capital Group, Mercury General and Allstate are among the top 5 highly rated stocks within the group.
