Best Performing Stocks To Watch For 2019

tags:ONB,ASIX,PLX,SBH,LEDS,

Based on FedEx Corporation's (NYSE: FDX) most recent earnings report, you'd think the stock would be performing better. 

Not only did the company report an Earnings Per Share figure of $3.72 compared to the consensus estimate of $3.12, their sales figure of $16.5 billion also exceeded Wall Street's estimate at $16.15 billion. 

Beyond that, their EPS guidance estimate for the fiscal year came in at $15-$15.40, a huge beat of the $13.61 estimate. 

Strong EPS, sales, and guidance? That's usually a recipe for stocks to move higher. But not in this case. 

Since its earnings report after the close on March 20, FDX is down about 4 percent. And it only looks to be getting weaker. 

The charts below show this. They come courtesy of VantagePoint, an AI platform that uses intermarket analysis to predict future price action between 1-3 days in advance. 

Both of the following charts show FDX over the last three months with each candle representing a day. We're focusing on the blue line, that's a predicted moving average. 

In the first chart, the blue line is serving as a prediction four 48 hours in advance. Notice how that line crossed below the black line—a simple 10-day moving average—on April 24. That was the start of the most recent bearish trend. 

In other words, since April 24 VantagePoint has been predicting FDX's 6-day moving average would be lower in 48 hours than it currently is.
