KAI is currently trading in the middle of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index however is trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so KAI is lagging the market slightly.
KAI has an average technical rating and it also does not offer a high quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
