AO Smith had its Relative Strength (RS) Rating upgraded from 70 to 73 Monday — a welcome improvement, but still short of the 80 or higher score you look for.

Over 100 years of market history reveals that the market's biggest winners often have an RS Rating of at least 80 as they launch their biggest price moves. See if AO Smith can continue to rebound and hit that benchmark.
