Recent Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Raised Concerns - Monday, November 18, 2024

ResMed Medical-Products (RMD +$4.68 or +1.99% to $239.42) posted a gain rebounding toward its 50-day moving average ($242.64) which may now act as resistance.  Losses last week violated its 50 DMA line triggering a technical sell signal. A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.

RMD was highlighted in yellow in the 10/25/24 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 9/09/24 high plus 10 cents after it gapped up hitting new multi-year highs. Although it triggered a triggered a technical buy signal, the very next day's loss and close back below the pivot point promptly negated the breakout raising concerns. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/28/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "ResMed Negated Friday's Breakout Raising Concerns". Confirming gains for new highs would be a reassuring signing of fresh institutional buying demand that could lead to a sustained and meaningful advance.

RMD has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It reported earnings +34% on +31% sales revenues for the Sep '24 quarter versus the year-ago period, marking its 3rd strong comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been steady.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,739 in Dec '23 to 1,931 in Sep '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
