The S&P/TSX Composite index made a notable recovery, climbing 1.2% during the week ending Friday, and is now showing a 1.5% increase for the year. This positive shift places the benchmark's Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54, which indicates that it is currently in a neutral range — hovering close to the threshold that distinguishes between oversold (RSI of 30) and overbought (RSI of 70) conditions.

Oversold Stocks

Among the stocks under the spotlight, nine are currently classified as oversold and present potentially attractive buying opportunities. Topping this list is Saputo Inc., boasting a low RSI of 20, signaling it may be undervalued. The other oversold stocks include Canopy Growth Corp., known for its cannabis investments; Rogers Communications Inc., a key player in Canada's telecom sector; Boardwalk REIT, which is involved in residential rental; and North West Co. Inc., a retailer catering to remote communities.

Overbought Stocks

On the flip side, the market also has stocks that are deemed overbought, with five index constituents showing signs of being technically extended. These include the Toronto-Dominion Bank, a powerhouse in financial services; Celestica Inc., a critical player in electronic manufacturing; Nutrien Ltd., one of the world’s largest agricultural inputs companies; Aritzia Inc., a popular women’s fashion retailer; and Enbridge Inc., a leader in energy transportation.

Stocks Reaching 52-Week Highs

Excitingly, seven companies within the S&P/TSX Composite are currently enjoying price momentum by reaching new 52-week highs. These stocks, listed here by market capitalization, include Enbridge Inc., Celestica, Gildan Activewear Inc., with a strong hold in the apparel sector; TransAlta Corp. specializing in energy; Gibson Energy Inc., known for its oil and gas products; NGex Minerals Ltd., focused on mining; and Enerflex Ltd., a natural gas services company.

Stocks Hitting 52-Week Lows

However, investors should be cautious, as four stocks have recently hit new 52-week lows, including Saputo Inc. again, Canadian Apartment Properties REIT, Boardwalk REIT, and InterRent REIT. This may indicate turbulent times ahead for these companies.

As market dynamics continue to shift, savvy investors may want to keep an eye on the above-listed stocks, as well as the overall trend of the TSX. Stay informed and be ready to capitalize on potential opportunities!
