FINL is a fundamental analyst's delight. Although I agree the stock looks OVERBOUGHT. The stock has an excellent growth rate of 21% per year. One of my software packages which has very popular indicators for computing value says it's Relative Value is 1.43.. which is EXCELLENT. It's timing is EXCELLENT as well. It also computes FINL's relative value as $30.90 per share, which actually renders FINL as UNDERVALUED. I have no reason to discard this analysis over the purely technical analysis, but rather give credence and proper consideration to all analyses, fundamental as well as technical. 9 brokers revised their estimates UPWARDS in just the last week from 0.32 to 0.34 cents. "Revising estimates upward" is becoming very important criteria for institional interest in a stock. You have 14 brokers with a consensus recommendation of 1.5 which is excellent. Add to that the fact that I've played FINL before successfully during earnings.. So I've been divided. Most traders do not even look at fundamental analysis and that has often resulted in missing the value of a dual technofundamental approach. This last week I've asked about FINL and gotten answers from traders without them even knowing what FINL does or what their earnings look like. So I'm still divided, but there are lots of other clearer plays out there and by Monday I'll either pick it up if the trend changes, or forget it and go on to the next one.
