Financials are showing signs of life after the Fed’s announcement in late June that several credit-card companies passed its “stress test” and were free to commence planned dividends and buybacks. One of them was Ally Financial Inc (NYSE:ALLY), which got the greenlight to initiate its first dividend program since its IPO in 2014. The 8 cent quarterly payout implies a 1.9% forward yield.

ALLY shares are up about 7% since the news, including a cross above the 50-day moving average. And the Profit Scanner powered by Recognia sees 17%–21% further upside from here.

That outlook’s based on ALLY’s completion of a bullish Symmetrical Continuation Triangle on Tuesday. The pattern gets its name from its two converging trendlines as the stock makes lower highs and higher lows during a consolidation. Then, before the “triangle” fully completes, the stock confirms the pattern by breaking above the upper trendline. From here, we can expect ALLY to continue its prior uptrend.
