On Thursday, EPR Properties hit an important performance benchmark, with its Relative Strength (RS) Rating rising into the 80-plus percentile with an upgrade to 87, up from 80 the day before.
IBD's proprietary RS Rating tracks technical performance by using a 1 (worst) to 99 (best) score that indicates how a stock's price performance over the trailing 52 weeks matches up against other publicly traded companies.
Decades of market research reveals that the stocks that go on to make the biggest gains tend to have an RS Rating north of 80 in the early stages of their moves.
