TTM Technologies Stock Is Up 450% in a Year and Could Still Run Higher
TTM Technologies (TTMI) exhibits strong technical momentum with shares up nearly 450% over the past year. Analysts expect 37.73% revenue growth and 65.24% earnings growth this year, with additional growth next year. Wall Street rates TTMI a “Strong Buy” with price targets up to $225. I see further potential for TTMI but recommend a tight stop loss due to volatility and speculative risk.

Today’s Featured Stock

Valued at $19.2 billion, TTM Technologies (TTMI) is a leading global printed circuit board manufacturer, focusing on quick-turn and volume production of technologically advanced PCBs, backplane assemblies, and electro-mechanical solutions. TTM stands for time-to-market, representing how TTM's time-critical, one-stop manufacturing services enable customers to shorten the time required to develop new products and bring them to market. 

What I’m Watching

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. TTMI checks those boxes. The Trend Seeker issued a new “Buy” signal on April 10. Since then, the stock has gained 53.49%.
