Heavy equipment dealer Toromont Industries reported Wednesday that it earned higher revenue but lower profits in the first quarter.Seth Perlman
Toromont Industries Ltd. built a large base from 2008 to 2010 mostly between $11 and $18 (dashed lines). The stock rallied above this trading range in early 2011 to a high of $20.33 (A), pulled back to $15.39 (B), then had a sharp rise to $25, producing an extremely overbought condition (C). This was corrected recently as Toromont pulled back toward its 40-week moving average, providing a good entry point (D). Only a sustained decline below about $20.50 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements provide targets of $27 and $31. The large base from 2008 to 2010 (dashed lines) supports higher targets.
