Today’s Featured Stock:

Valued at $800 million, Oil-Dri Corp of America (ODC) develops, manufactures, and markets sorbent products and related services for the consumer, industrial, environmental, agricultural and fluid purification markets throughout the U.S. and globally. 

What I’m Watching:

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. ODC checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on May 9, the stock has gained 19.96%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Chewy:

I don’t buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it’s hard to make money swimming against the tide.

• CFRA’s MarketScope rates the stock a “Buy.”
• MorningStar thinks the stock is 13% overvalued.

I caution that ODC is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.
