Wait Continues for Technical Breakout

Fortune Brands Home & Security Inc (FBHS -$0.41 or -0.71% to $57.16) encountered distributional pressure today after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/21/16 high plus 10 cents. Disciplined investors will observe that it was noted - "It needs subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point to trigger a technical buy signal.

The high-ranked Building - Construction Products firm has shown encouraging earnings acceleration in sequential quarters, up +16%, +23%, +27% and +39% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '15 and Mar '16 quarters, respectively. The larger than +25% increases (C criteria) help it better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
 
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 659 in Jun '15 to 844 in Mar '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Patient investors will watch for fresh signs of meaningful new institutional buying demand driving the stock into new high territory (N criteria). Without that bullish "breakout" action, investors have less reasons to expect a considerable and sustained advance in the weeks and months ahead.
