Today’s Featured Stock:

Valued at $20.44 billion, Tapestry (TPR), which was formerly known as Coach, Inc., is the designer and marketer of fine accessories and gifts. The company offers lifestyle products, which include handbags, women’s and men’s accessories, footwear, jewelry, seasonal apparel collections, fragrances, and watches. 

What I’m Watching:

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. TPR checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on May 7, the stock has gained 31.68%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Tapestry:

I don’t buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it’s hard to make money swimming against the tide.

It looks like Wall Street analysts are bullish, but some major advisory sites aren't.

• The Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart issued 14 “Strong Buy,” two “Moderate Buy,” and four “Hold” opinions on the stock.
• Value Line gives the stock its highest rating.
• CFRA’s MarketScope rates the stock a “Hold.”
• Morningstar thinks the stock is 53% overvalued.
• 45,660 investors monitor the stock on Seeking Alpha, which rates the stock a “Hold.”

The Bottom Line:

Tapestry currently has momentum and is hitting new highs.

I caution that TPR is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.
