| RAI Crosses Technical IndicatorBy Dividend Channel Staff, Thursday, December 1, 11:39 AM ET
In trading on Thursday, shares of Reynolds American Inc (NYSE:RAI) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $42.18 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 Reynolds American Inc, the RSI reading has hit 70.6 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 55.3. Investors could look at RAI's 70.6 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of exhausting itself, which could bring a pullback in the stock. The chart below shows the one year performance of RAI shares:
Looking at the chart above, RAI's low point in its 52 week range is $31.54 per share, with $42.18 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $42.05.
