| CMP Stock Crowded With SellersBy Metals Channel Staff, Thursday, September 7, 11:30 AM ET
In trading on Thursday, shares of Compass Minerals International Inc (NYSE:CMP) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $27.945 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Compass Minerals International Inc, the RSI reading has hit 28.4 — by comparison, the universe of metals and mining stocks covered by Metals Channel currently has an average RSI of 43.7, the RSI of Spot Gold is at 6.8, and the RSI of Spot Silver is presently 14.3. A bullish investor could look at CMP's 28.4 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), CMP's low point in its 52 week range is $27.945 per share, with $47.68 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $28.30. Compass Minerals International Inc shares are currently trading off about 1.8% on the day.
