Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (KNSL) Just Overtook the 50-Day Moving Average
Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (KNSL - Free Report) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, KNSL broke out above the 50-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.
The 50-day simple moving average is one of three major moving averages used by traders and analysts to determine support or resistance levels for a wide range of securities. But the 50-day is considered to be more important because it's the first marker of an up or down trend.
Shares of KNSL have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 9.6%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, suggesting that KNSL could be poised for a continued surge.
The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account KNSL's positive earnings estimate revisions. 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 KNSL on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
