Michael Kors has been on a roller coaster ride since the end of April, but this summer has been good for the stock. After a catastrophic dip in May, it appears poised to move higher – perhaps much higher.
As you can see on the chart, the stock broke a downtrend line in early June rather unimpressively. Jump forward to the first day of August, and you can see it had a robust gain on strong turnover. This move put Michael Kors back at the levels not seen since it started getting pounded in late April. Momentum is clearly bullish, and relative strength is quite impressive. Because of the rather flat moving averages, the MACD has not signaled a buy yet but the fuse has been lit. This stock can move towards the old highs (low 60’s) in quick order. (Note that earnings are out later this month.)
