Is Trex Stock A Buy?
Trex stock broke out earlier, but is now approximately 5% below the prior 59.94 entry from a cup without handle. If a stock you're tracking clears a buy point then retreats 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 base and buy point. Also keep in mind that the latest consolidation is a later-stage base, which makes it riskier to establish a new position or add shares to an existing one.
Although earnings and sales growth came in at -39% and -30%, respectively, in the latest report, that marked two straight quarters of improvement for EPS and two for the top line.
