Azz Inc. - All Time High

The Chart of the Day belongs to Azz Inc. (AZZ). I found the stock by using Barchart to sort today's All Time High list for the stocks having the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/13 the stock gained 9.05%.

AZZ is up over 15% in the past 3 months, but on the downside, the stock was most recently downgraded last week (June 12) from a Buy to Neutral by DA Davidson. Should be interesting to see how it does on earnings expected sometime between June 25-29. If it beats expected earnings, the stock should jump.
