How To Use Stock Charts To Stay Profitable And Protected
Cushman & Wakefield has moved more than 5% past a 13.99 entry in a first-stage flat base, meaning it's now out of a proper buy zone. Look for the stock to offer a new chance to get in like a three-weeks tight or pullback to the 50-day or 10-week line.
The company saw both earnings and sales growth rise last quarter. Earnings-per-share increased from -9% to 10%. Revenue rose from -5% to 3%.
The company holds the No. 13 rank among its peers in the Real Estate-Development/Operations industry group. Amrep Corp, CBRE Group and FirstService are among the top 5 highly rated stocks within the group.
