The Wisconsin-based pump and pumping equipment manufacturing company, Gardner Denver Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GDI) seems to be gearing up for a surge as per its latest charts.
Bullish Indications
#1 IH&S Pattern: As you can see from the daily chart, the stock has currently broken out of an Inverted Head and Shoulders (IH&S) pattern. This IH&S pattern is marked in the chart in orange color. An IH&S pattern is a strong bullish pattern. A breakout from this pattern usually indicates that the stock may move higher in the short term.
