BTO has a market cap of $789.75 million. This is considered a Small Cap stock.
In the last 3 years, BTO traded as high as $42.00 and as low as $22.96.
BTO has underperformed the market in the last year with a return of +12.3%, while SPY returned +18.8%. This shows that you would have done better investing in the overall market (through SPY) over the last year than in BTO shares. However, BTO has outperformed the market in the last 3 month and 2 week periods, returning +8.6% and +0.3%, while SPY returned +3.5% and -0.3%, respectively. This indicates BTO has been having a stronger performance recently.
BTO support price is $39.43 and resistance is $40.49 (based on 1 day standard deviation move). This means that using the most recent 20 day stock volatility and applying a one standard deviation move around the stock's closing price, stastically there is a 67% probability that BTO shares will trade within this expected range on the day.
