Garmin saw an improvement in its IBD SmartSelect Composite Rating Tuesday, from 93 to 96.
The new rating is a sign the stock is outpacing 96% of all stocks when it comes to the most important stock-picking criteria. History shows the top market performers tend to have a 95 or higher score as they launch their major climbs.
Garmin broke out earlier, but has fallen back below the prior 219.00 entry from a cup with handle. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then declines 7% or more below the original entry price, it's considered a failed base. Wait for the stock to set up and breakout from a new chart pattern and entry price. Also keep in mind that the most recent pattern is a later-stage base, and such bases are more prone to failure.
