The "Chart of the Day" is Acuity Brands (AYI), which showed up on Thursday's list of stocks that had a new "Buy" signal from the Barchart "TrendSpotter" trading system. Acuity on Thursday rallied by 2.79% and posted a new 2-week high of $60.12. A rally in Acuity above the recent 3-1/2 year high of $60.54 (posted Dec 13) would be a particularly bullish technical signal and may indicate that a test would soon be forthcoming of the stock's record high of 63.84 posted in July 2007. Acuity Brands, with a market cap of $2.5 billion, is the world's largest lighting fixture manufacturer and includes brands such as LithoniaLighting, Holophane, Peerless, and Hydrel.
