Would you buy this?

Thought about Biotechs lately?

The mystery chart is the relative performance of Biotech stocks (IBB) against the market. As the chart shows, the group is testing a key relative support zone when compared to the market. Unless the outlook deteriorates significantly, relative downside risk appears to be limited.

There are a couple of reasons to consider the Biotech stocks. First, the group is experiencing a bullish breadth divergence. IBB is a cap weighted ETF, which means that the largest capitalization stocks dominate the performance of that security. By contrast, the equal weight XBI Biotech ETF is performing much better.
 

 

There is also fundamental support for this group. The Morningstar fair value estimate shows that Biotech stocks are about 9% undervalued.
 

 

In conclusion, here is a high-beta group that is undervalued and washed-out. What more could anyone ask for?
