Found Support at 200-Day Average But Faces Overhead Supply - Monday, November 26, 2018

Healthequity Inc (HQY +$3.25 or +4.20% to $80.63) found support while recently sputtering near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line ($77.22) after damaging losses violated the prior low ($80.56 on 10/24/18) triggering a technical sell signal. A subsequent rebound above the 50 DMA line ($88.62) is needed for its outlook to improve. It now faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $99 level.

HQY was last shown in this FSU section on 11/01/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebound Above 50-Day Average Helped Outlook Improve". It reported earnings +62% on +25% sales revenues for the Jul '18 quarter versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. Fundamentals remain strong, as the past 7 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and underpinned by strong sales revenues increases.

It has managed a bumpy climb that may have shaken out many investors since triggering a technical buy signal with a gain above the new pivot point with +90% above average volume when highlighted in the 2/20/18 mid-day report (read here).

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 369 in Dec '16 to 547 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a fairly small supply of only 62.3 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of B.

The Commercial Services - Outsourcing industry group currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 49, however there are other strong leaders in the group, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It completed its $14 IPO on 7/31/14 followed by an additional Public Offering on 5/05/15 and Secondary Offerings on both 10/20/16 and 9/23/15.
