American Water Works - Chart of the Day

American Water Works (AWK) is the Barcart Chart of the Day.  The water supplier company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 27.40+, gained 24.67% in the last year while paying a 2.32% dividend yield.

The Chart of the Day belongs to America Water Works (AWK).  I found the a stock by sorting the All Time High list for new high frequency in the last month, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 10/8 the stock gained 7.61%.

AWK is the largest investor-owned U.S. water and wastewater utility company. With headquarters in Voorhees, N.J., the company employs nearly seven thousand dedicated professionals who provide drinking water, wastewater and other related services to approximately 15.6 million people in 32 states and Ontario, Canada.
