| KMB Crosses Technical IndicatorBy Dividend Channel Staff, Wednesday, December 21, 4:13 PM ET
In trading on Wednesday, shares of Kimberly-Clark Corp. (NYSE:KMB) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $73.06 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 Kimberly-Clark Corp., the RSI reading has hit 70.4 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 52.7. Investors could look at KMB's 70.4 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of winding down, which could bring a pullback in the stock. The chart below shows the one year performance of KMB shares:
Looking at the chart above, KMB's low point in its 52 week range is $61.00 per share, with $73.23 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $73.05.
