Dynatrace Stock Powers Higher With Big Money

Dynatrace, Inc. (DT) stock has climbed steadily in 2021, jumping +74%. And it could be setting up for more highs soon with the continuing growth of the cloud software segment. But another likely reason is due to Big Money lifting the stock.

So, what’s Big Money? Said simply, that’s when a stock goes up in price alongside chunky volumes. It’s indicative of institutions betting on the shares.

Smart money managers are always looking for the next hot stock. And Dynatrace has many fundamental qualities that are attractive.

This sets up well for the stock going forward. But how the shares have been trading points to more upside. As I’ll show you, the Big Money has been consistent in the shares all year.

You see, fund managers are always looking to bet on the next outlier stocks…the best in class. They spend countless hours sizing up companies, reading reports, speaking to analysts…you name it. When they find a company firing on all cylinders, they pounce in a big way.

That’s why I’ve learned how critical it is to gauge Big Money demand for shares. To show you what I mean, have a look at all the big money signals DT has made the last year.

The last few weeks have seen Big Money activity, too. Each green bar signals big trading volumes as the stock ramped in price:

In 2021, the stock has attracted 16 Big Money buy signals. Generally speaking, recent green bars could mean more upside is ahead.

Now, let’s check out technical action grabbing my attention:

• Year-to-date outperformance vs. Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (+53.64% outperformance vs. XLK)

Outperformance is important for leading stocks.

Next, it’s a good idea to check under the hood. Meaning, I want to make sure the fundamental story is strong too. As you can see, Dynatrace has been growing sales at a double-digit rate. Take a look:

• 1-year sales growth rate (+28.89%)
• 3-year sales growth rate (+21.27%)
