How To Use Stock Charts To Stay Profitable And Protected
Mirum Pharmaceuticals broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 45.23 entry from a consolidation. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then retreats 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. Wait for the stock to set up and breakout from a new chart pattern and buy point. Also understand that the most recent consolidation is a later-stage base, and those involve more risk.
The company reported 0% EPS growth last quarter, while sales growth came in at 89%.
The company earns the No. 14 rank among its peers in the Medical-Biomed/Biotech industry group. ADMA Biologics, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals and Exelixis are among the top 5 highly rated stocks within the group.
