Manulife Financial Corp. (MFC.TO) continues to show strong stock-specific relative strength within the S&P/TSX 60 Index Report, ranking #12 of 60 and remaining in the favored green zone. The stock has advanced 14 positions over the past month and 6 spots over the past quarter, supported by a strong SIA SMAX Score of 9/10.
From a Point & Figure perspective, Manulife’s most recent signal is a Double Top, indicating continued demand on the chart. Near-term support is located at the 3-box reversal level of $50.22, followed by a secondary support zone between $44.60 and $43.72. A longer-term support level from early 2025 remains near $39.60. Resistance levels, based on Point & Figure vertical counting methodologies, appear at $58.84 and $66.27.
Performance has also remained favourable relative to the broader benchmark. Manulife has returned +8.42% over the past month, +6.34% over the past quarter, and +31.12% over the past year, compared with the S&P/TSX 60 Index at +1.24%, +5.03%, and +30.39% over the same periods. This suggests the stock has continued to hold a modest advantage over the benchmark across all three measured timeframes.
The main area of contrast is sector positioning. While Manulife sits firmly in the favored green zone of the S&P/TSX 60 Index Report, the Insurance sector remains in the unfavored red zone of the SIA Sector Report, ranked 23rd of 31 sectors. This may indicate that the stock’s current strength is being driven more by company-specific relative strength than by broad sector leadership.
