Not a good buy right now for an impatient investor. RBC’s longer-term trend remains bullish, but near-term signals (bearish MACD momentum, heavy put skew in options, and accelerated insider + hedge fund selling) argue against chasing at ~$506. I would hold/off on new buys until either (1) a cleaner momentum turn with a move above ~$513–$518, or (2) a pullback toward the ~$496 support area that holds.
Trend/structure is still bullish with moving averages stacked positively (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), implying the primary trend is up. However, momentum is cooling: MACD histogram is negative (-0.0678) and expanding lower, which often precedes short-term weakness or consolidation. RSI(6) at ~58.8 is neutral-to-slightly-strong but not overbought, so there’s room to move either way. Key levels: Pivot ~504.6 is being tested; immediate support S1 ~496.1 (then S2 ~490.8). Near resistance is R1 ~513.1 and R2 ~518.4—price needs to reclaim and hold above these to re-assert short-term upside.
Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
Strong fundamental backdrop in Aerospace/Defense: multiple analysts explicitly cite rising aircraft production and sustained aftermarket demand.
Earnings catalyst ahead: next earnings 2026-02-05 (pre-market) with Street EPS est. 2.68—potential upside catalyst if margins/aftermarket strength continues.
Analyst narrative tailwinds: growth opportunities cited in marine/space/missiles and other high-value niches; OEM contract renewals expected to support margins in 2026 (per analyst commentary).
Smart-money selling pressure: Hedge funds net selling accelerated (+150.06% QoQ selling), and insiders are selling sharply (+1968.71% MoM selling), which often caps near-term upside.
Short-term momentum weakening: MACD negative and worsening despite bullish longer-term MAs.
Options sentiment skewed bearish/hedged (put-heavy OI and volume), consistent with caution rather than aggressive upside positioning.
No supportive news flow in the last week to offset the above.
Latest reported quarter: 2026/Q2. Revenue grew to ~$455.3M (+14.43% YoY), net income rose to ~$60.0M (+23.71% YoY), EPS increased to 1.90 (+15.15% YoY), and gross margin improved to ~39.51% (+0.84 YoY). Overall: solid growth with improving profitability—fundamentals support the longer-term bull case, but they’re not currently translating into strong short-term momentum signals at today’s price.
Recent analyst trend is clearly improving: multiple firms raised price targets and reiterated bullish ratings (Truist Buy $542; KeyBanc Overweight $535; Deutsche Bank Buy $527; BofA upgraded to Buy with $500 previously). Net takeaway: Wall Street pros see high-quality execution and durable aerospace/aftermarket demand as the core bull case, plus margin expansion from contracts and niche growth areas. The main ‘con’ from a trading standpoint is that the stock is already at elevated levels while near-term technical/positioning data show caution—so upside may require either a breakout confirmation or a better entry on weakness.
