Technical Rating and Analysis

7

Overall PKG gets a technical rating of 7 out of 10. In the last year, PKG was one of the better performers, but we do observe some doubts in the very recent evolution.

In the last month PKG has a been trading in the 225.30 - 249.88 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading near the lows of this range.
When comparing the yearly performance of all stocks, we notice that PKG is one of the better performing stocks in the market, outperforming 85% of all stocks. We also observe that the gains produced by PKG over the past year are nicely spread over this period.
PKG is one of the better performing stocks in the Containers & Packaging industry, it outperforms 82% of 24 stocks in the same industry.
PKG is currently trading in the upper part of its 52 week range. The S&P500 Index is also trading in the upper part of its 52 week range, so PKG is performing more or less in line with the market.
The long term trend is positive and the short term trend is negative. It is probably better to wait until this picture becomes clearer.
Volume is considerably higher in the last couple of days.

Setup Rating and Analysis

6

PKG has an excellent technical rating, but the quality of the setup is only medium 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.
