Look for Shares of Kennametal to Potentially Pullback after Yesterday's 1.32% Rise
Feb 14, 2012 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
Kennametal (NYSE:KMT) traded in a range yesterday that spanned from a low of $44.73 to a high of $46.00. Yesterday, the shares gained 1.3%, which took the trading range above the 3-day high of $45.44 on volume of 816,000 shares. Often times after large one-day gains, short term traders will seek to take profits and, as such, investors should be cautious.
Over the past year, Kennametal has traded in a range of $29.30 to $46.21 and is now at $45.96, 57% above that low. In the last five trading sessions, the 50-day moving average (MA) has climbed 1.2% while the 200-day MA has remained constant.
