Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE: AJG)

Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and its subsidiaries provide insurance brokerage and risk management services to various commercial, industrial, institutional, and governmental organizations. It operates in two segments, Brokerage and Risk Management. The Brokerage segment primarily consists of retail and wholesale brokerage operations. Its retail brokerage operations negotiate and place property/casualty, employer-provided health and welfare insurance, and retirement solutions primarily for middle-market commercial, industrial, public entity, religious, and not-for-profit entities.. The Risk Management segment offers contract claim settlement and administration services for enterprises that choose to self-insure some or all of their property/casualty coverages, and for insurance companies that choose to outsource some or all of their property/casualty claims departments.
To review Arthur's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of AJG (Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.) below with my added notations:

CSC had worked its way higher from its $34 bottom in December up until its peak in May. Then, for about (6) months the stock had been stalling at a $45 resistance (red), which was also a 52-week high resistance. Finally, last week AJG broke through that $45 resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: AJG broke out to a new 52-week high and now may be pulling back. A long trade could be made at $45 with a stop placed below that level. A break below $45 would negate the forecast for a continued move higher.
