Founded in 1976, the company holds more than 1,050 patents worldwide, with another 950 patents pending.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last 10 years, the stock has notably lagged the broader tech sector, gaining 35.7% compared to 108% for the S&amp;P 500 Technology Index.<\/p>\n<p>But this year, shares have risen 6%, versus a meager 0.2% gain for tech stocks.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, investors are on the hunt for value as stocks climb to historically high prices \u2013 especially in the tech sector.<\/p>\n<p><em>And CA is chock full of value.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The stock trades at 12 times forward earnings, besting its peers by 16%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The company also sports a forward price-to-book ratio of 2.2, less than half the industry average of 4.8.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At its current price, shares offer a forward dividend yield of 3.4%. That\u2019s 54% higher than the S&amp;P 500 and more than double the tech sector yield.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And while CA\u2019s valuation is undoubtedly impressive, its chart reveals an even more compelling opportunity.<\/p>\n<h2>Highway to the Profit Zone<\/h2>\n<p>As I mentioned a moment ago, CA shares are up 6% in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s only part of the upside story.<\/p>\n<p>After falling to within 2% of its 52-week low amid January\u2019s broad market selloff, shares have since taken off.<\/p>\n<p>From its January low to its March high, CA shares jumped by over 20% \u2013 nearly double the rise of the S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/media.wallstreetdaily.com\/charts\/0516_CAInc.png\" alt=\"CA Inc. (CA) Gears Up for Next Big Move: Shares Find Strong Support at Previous Resistance\" width=\"500\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, shares broke through resistance in February at the December 2015 closing high of around $29.36.<\/p>\n<p>Shares overtook their 200-day moving average for the first time since last July.<\/p>\n<p>The stock\u2019s recent rise is backed by long-term support, too. In fact, CA\u2019s January bottom corresponds with a support line that hasn\u2019t been broken for longer than one week since 2008!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what I call strong support.<\/p>\n<p>And this support level is going to come in handy ahead of the toughest months for stocks of the year \u2013 between May and August.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, not only is CA enjoying strong support, its momentum is also increasing.<\/p>\n<h2>Strength Beyond Strength<\/h2>\n<p>The stock\u2019s relative strength index (RSI) is currently 51.1 and rising \u2013 up from 33 at the January low.<\/p>\n<p>As you may know, this indicator measures momentum over a 14-day period on a scale from 0 to 100.<\/p>\n<p>The concept couldn\u2019t be simpler: A rising RSI implies increasing momentum, while a falling RSI can signal waning strength.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, CA\u2019s RSI reading is well below the \u201coverbought\u201d threshold of 70, meaning that shares have plenty more room to run before exhausting the upward trend.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: If you\u2019re hunting for tech value with generous upside over the summer, look no further than CA. But don\u2019t wait too long, or you might miss the flight.<\/p>\n<p>On the hunt,<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Rodriguez<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wallstreetdaily.com\/2016\/05\/13\/ca-inc-tech-sector\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">This Stock Offers Great Value and Big Upside<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wallstreetdaily.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wall Street Daily<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By WallStreetDaily.com If you\u2019re looking for one of the driving forces of the current bull market, look no further than the tech sector.
