Trade Ideas: NOC
Given this is another holiday week the markets weren't in the mood to shake things up too much. The Trade Ideas scan was modestly bullish (considering), with 8 picks covering a time span of 6 minutes. By far the most frequent stock to appear on the daily scan at 36 appearances was Northrop Grumman (NOC).
The stock has breached $68.20 resistance, now support, ending a 2-month consolidation triangle/handle. Stops can go on a loss of triangle support and/or the most recent reaction low ($66). A push to $70 would trigger a breakout on the point-n-figure chart, although the current chart target of $55 has long since been met. I would look for a measured move to $80, part of a larger 10-month bullish ascending triangle. The stock pays a 1.80% yield.
