Extended From Base After Another Volume-Driven Gain

Patrick Industries Inc (PATK +$0.92 or +1.72% to $54.28) hit a new 52-week high with today's volume-driven gain. Disciplined investors avoid chasing extended stocks which have rallied more than +5% above a sound base pattern. On pullbacks, prior highs define near term support in the $50 area, above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($49.33). 

It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/24/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Solid Volume-Driven Gain Into New High Territory". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It finished strong with +132% above average volume as it hit new all-time highs confirming a technical buy signal with today's big gain, rallying with no resistance due to overhead supply. 

It reported earnings +36% on +25% sales revenues for the Mar '16 quarter, and prior quarters were steadily above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A small downturn in FY '13 was a flaw previously noted in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. 

Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication that its shares were under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 218 in Jun '15 to 249 in Mar '16, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 14.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
