| Prosperity Bancshares Inc. Stock Getting OverboughtBy Dividend Channel Staff, Tuesday, January 10, 12:38 PM ET
In trading on Tuesday, shares of Prosperity Bancshares Inc. (NYSE:PB) entered into overbought territory, changing hands as high as $43.08 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 Prosperity Bancshares Inc., the RSI reading has hit 70.3 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 61.4. Investors could look at PB's 70.3 reading as a sign that the recent heavy buying is in the process of exhausting itself, which could bring a pullback in the stock.
