KBR Inc. declined from $36.70 to $14.00 (A-B), and settled in a horizontal trading range mostly between $16 and $20, followed by another range between $13 and $18 (dashed lines). This price action produced a bullish technical pattern called a Delayed Ending. The recent rise above $18.50-19.00 signalled a breakout from this formation, renewed investor interest and the start of a new up-leg (C). There is good support near ±$17.50, but only a sustained decline below ±$16.00 would be negative. Point & Figure measurements provide an initial target of $25. The large trading range supports significantly higher targets.
