Theratechnologies (THTX) Enters Overbought Territory

Read MoreHide Full Article

Theratechnologies Inc. (THTX - Free Report) has moved higher as of late, but there could definitely be trouble on the horizon for this company. That is because THTX is now in overbought territory with an RSI value of 77.31.

What is RSI?

RSI stands for ‘Relative Strength Index’ and it is a popular indicator used by technically focused investors. It compares the average of gains in days that closed up to the average of losses in days that closed down; readings above 70 suggest an asset is overbought, while an RSI below 30 suggests undervalued conditions are present.

Other Factors

Yet THTX’s high RSI value isn’t the only reason for investors to be concerned, as there has been some decidedly negative earnings estimate revisions of Theratechnologies’ stock as of late. This is especially true when investors dive into some of these revisions in order to get a better picture of THTX’s prospects for the near term.

Over the past one month, investors have witnessed 2 earnings estimate revision lower compared to none higher for the current year. The consensus estimate for Theratechnologies has also been on a downward trend over the same time period too, as the estimates have fallen more than 100% over the last two months.

If this wasn’t enough, Theratechnologies also has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) which puts it into unfortunate company among its peers. So, given all of these factors, investors may want to consider exiting this stock now before it falls back to Earth. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All                

Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
