PlayAGS(AGS) shares rose 0.24% today, marking the third consecutive day of gains, with a total increase of 0.82% over the past three days. The share price reached its highest level since November 2019, with an intraday gain of 0.57%.

The strategy of buying AGS shares after they reached a recent high and holding for 1 week yielded moderate returns over the past 5 years, with a 5-year CAGR of 3.98%. While the strategy captured some upside during strong performance periods, it also incurred losses during underperformance. The sharp decline in 2023, followed by recovery, highlights the strategy's vulnerability during market downturns. Overall, the risk-adjusted returns suggest this strategy is viable but requires careful consideration of market conditions.
