Shares of SPRD are ripping higher today after the company said its revenue may exceed previous forecasts. Spreadtrum said in a statement today that it's on track to meet or exceed its fourth-quarter revenue forecast of $188 million to $194 million.
From a technical standpoint, SPRD is starting to bounce hard right near its 200-day moving average of $19.42 today on high volume. Market players should now look for the next buy point to trigger if SPRD can sustain a high-volume move and close back above its 50-day moving average of $23.85.
If we see that action, then look for this stock to re-test some near-term overhead resistance at $27.
