What I'm Watching:
I found today's Chart of the Day by using Barchart's powerful screening functions. I sorted for stocks with the highest technical buy signals, superior current momentum in both strength and direction, and a Trend Seeker 'buy' signal. I then used Barchart's Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. AMG checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on May 7, the stock has gained 20.78%.

Analyst and Investor Sentiment on Affiliated Managers:
I don't buy stocks because everyone else is buying, but I do realize that if major firms and investors are dumping a stock, it's hard to make money swimming against the tide.
It looks like Wall Street analysts are bullish, but some major advisory sites are split.
The Wall Street analysts tracked by Barchart issued four 'Strong Buy,' two 'Moderate Buy,' and one 'Sell' opinions on the stock.
Value Line gives the company its above-average rating.
CFRA's Market Scope rates the stock a 'Hold.'

The Bottom Line:
Affiliated Managers currently has momentum and is hitting new highs on Wall Street. Plus, analysts project small increases in both revenue and earnings.
I caution that AMG is volatile and speculative — use strict risk management and stop-loss strategies.
