| PPG Industries, Inc. Shares Enter Overbought Territory (PPG)By Dividend Channel Staff, Thursday, October 27, 4:12 PM ET
In trading on Thursday, shares of PPG Industries, Inc. (NYSE:PPG) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $89.96 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 PPG Industries, Inc., the RSI reading has hit 70.1 — 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 PPG's 70.1 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of exhausting itself, and shares are due for a pullback.
