Is Innodata The New Palantir?

Authors Note:  I first noticed INOD when it started to appear on Barchart's Top Trending Ticker page, then again when John Rowland featured the stock on his Market On Close segment on February 21st.  Meanwhile it was also appearing on my screener so I decided to feature it here. Please notice at the base of the chart the spike in volume that coincides with the jump in price

Summary

  • Innodata Inc. (INOD) has shown a 39.66% gain since a Trend Seeker buy signal on 2/10, supported by strong technical indicators and consistent price appreciation.
  • The company operates in three segments: Digital Data Solutions, Synodex, and Agility, serving diverse sectors like banking, insurance, and technology.
  • Analysts are bullish with 3 strong buy ratings and a consensus price target of $74, despite MorningStar's view that the stock is 103% overvalued.
  • Investors should note the stock's volatility and follow a disciplined investment strategy, including diversification and regular reevaluation of stop losses.

The Chart of the Day belongs to the global data engineering company Innodata (INOD) . 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 2/10 the stock gained 39.66%.
