The IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating for Taylor Morrison Home (TMHC) increased from 94 to 96 Friday. The homebuilder is trying hard to stay within the buying range from a cup without handle pattern despite the tough market.
The new rating shows the stock is outpacing 96% of all stocks when it comes to the most important stock-picking criteria.
Taylor Morrison Home broke out earlier, but is now trading about 1% below the prior 35.61 entry from a cup without handle. In the scenario where a stock breaks out then falls 7% or more below the entry price, it’s considered a failed breakout. If that happens, it’s best to wait for a new pattern to form.
Interest rates can play a major role in home purchases, new or resale. Yet this industry has been holding up well despite the overhang of more rate increases.
