Chart of the Day: TechnipFMC - May Be Overvalued?
The Chart of the Day belongs to the British oil field services company TechnipFMC (FTI) . I found the stock by using Barchart's powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 6/2 the stock gained 15.34%.
