Axis Capital - All Time High

Axis Capital (AXS) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The property and casualty insurer has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 25.80. gained 22.11% last year and paid a 2.11% dividend.

The Chart of the Day is Axis Capital (AXS).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the stocks with the highest technical buy signals, then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 5/6 the stock gained 3.90%.


AXIS Capital Holdings Limited is a Bermuda-based global provider of specialty lines insurance and treaty reinsurance.
