Delta Apparel reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, DLA broke through the 200-day moving average, which suggests a long-term bullish trend.

The 200-day simple moving average is a useful tool for traders and analysts, establishing market trends for stocks, commodities, indexes, and other financial instruments over the long term. The marker moves higher or lower along with longer-term price moves, and serves as a support or resistance level.

Moving Average Chart for DLA

DLA has rallied 8.7% over the past four weeks, and the company is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at the moment. This combination suggests DLA could be on the verge of another move higher.

Once investors consider DLA's positive earnings estimate revisions, the bullish case only solidifies. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 1 higher, and the consensus estimate has increased as well.

Investors may want to watch DLA for more gains in the near future given the company's key technical level and positive earnings estimate revisions.
