Superior Group (SGC) Just Overtook the 200-Day Moving Average
From a technical perspective, Superior Group (SGC - Free Report) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. SGC recently overtook the 200-day moving average, and this suggests a long-term bullish trend.
The 200-day simple moving average helps traders and analysts determine overall long-term market trends for stocks, commodities, indexes, and other financial instruments. The indicator moves higher or lower along with longer-term price moves, serving as a support or resistance level.
Over the past four weeks, SGC has gained 18.5%. The company is currently ranked a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), another strong indication the stock could move even higher.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider SGC's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 2 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.
With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on SGC for more gains in the near future.
