In trading on Thursday, shares of HJ Heinz Co. (NYSE:HNZ) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $54.50 per share. We define overbought territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be overbought if the RSI reading rises above 70.

In the case of HJ Heinz Co., the RSI reading has hit 70.4 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 61.2.

A bearish investor could look at HNZ's 70.4 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of exhausting itself, and shares are due for a pullback. The chart below shows the one year performance of HNZ shares:

Looking at the chart above, HNZ's low point in its 52 week range is $46.99 per share, with $55.00 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $54.28.

Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on HNZ is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.
