Raytheon Company (RTN)

Can read more in the blog here.

With the wars overseas going on, its no surprise that Aerospace/defense has been the top performing industry group by Investors Business Daily for a good amount of time. The stock is ranked 3rd best out of the whole group, being also the best technically. I found Raytheon Company (RTN) stock back over a month ago when it 1st pressed to $48 on 9/5. Now trading close to $50, not only is it a great buy for the next few months, but I say it will move to $55 (or another 10%+).

Since it’s first run to $48 resistance, it met that resistance a number of times over the next few weeks. In fact, it hit between $47.95 and $48 over 7 times within those weeks since 9/5. Finally, at the bitter end of the day on 9/28, which is my sister’s birthday cool enough, it broke $48 and climbed a few pennies to hit a high of $48.13. It was on that day that I bought in my 1st position, and new the skies were going to be blue going forward.

It took just two days before the stock shot up to $49 on a strong accumulation day, then pressed to nearly $50 just a few days after that. I write about the stock now though to note a very heavy accumulation day yesterday on nearly 170% times average daily volume that closed the stock yet closer to $50 at $49.83. I bought more here, and cite the case that RTN may easily break $50 move towards $51, $52 by the end of next week. The strong volume fuled the originally push past $48 resistance, and the accumulation continues yet still.

The last point I want to note is that Raytheon Company has earnings set for October 27th according to IBD, and the company should easily beat analyst expectations. Until then though, a break above $49 on strong volume would signal a good buy point if you are looking to take your 1st position, or you can wait until earnings date nears. Chart is attached.

Update on RTN, the stock is now right around $51 after another strong accumulation day to push past $50, so far so good. We will see what happens once earnings come out.
