Technically speaking, the shares of CMED continue to catch aggressive bids intraday as the stock jumps to its September highs. While the ticker has underperfomed the broader SPX by 22%, it recently was able to bounce off the $11.50 level where it found support. It remains to be seen if CMED will maintain its PPS above the 2-month $11.50 -$12.50 range. If it can maintain it, and this depends if overall action in DOW remains constructive, it might be enough to lead its price to a further extension.
CMED currently trades at a forward multiple of 7.47 and a P/E to growth ratio of 0.31. The stock has been moving relatively higher over the past four months, and is currently trading above the 50-day ; $12.34, and 200-day ; $12.18, moving averages.
