Read MoreHide Full Article

Veritiv reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, VRTV broke through the 50-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.

The 50-day simple moving average, which is one of three major moving averages, is widely used by traders and analysts to establish support and resistance levels for a range of securities. Because it's the first sign of an up or down trend, the 50-day is considered to be more important.

VRTV could be on the verge of another rally after moving 7.6% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock.

Looking at VRTV's earnings estimate revisions, investors will be even more convinced of the bullish uptrend. There have been 1 higher compared to none lower for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Investors should think about putting VRTV on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
