NDW Spotlight Stock
FHI Federated Hermes Inc ($57.59) R - Wall Street - FHI has a 5 for 5 TA rating and sits in the top quartile of the wall street sector RS matrix. The stock has been in a positive trend since 2024 and on an RS buy signal against the market since 2022. We have seen FHI give four consecutive buy signals while ascending to a new all-time high this week. Even with that improvement, FHI remains in actionable territory just above the mid-point of the trading band. The long-term technical picture remains decidedly positive and the near-term picture has shown consistent improvement. Exposure may be considered from $54 to the high $50s. Our initial stop will be positioned at $46, which would violate multiple support levels. The bullish price objective of $91 will serve as our price target, offering a reward-to-risk greater than 2-to-1. Note that earnings are expected on 4/23.
