The Chart of the Day belongs to the financial services company Donnelly Financial Solutions (DFIN). 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 12/ 29 the stock gained 24.30%.
