Online brokerage operator TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. ( AMTD ) on Friday caught some bullish sentiment from analysts at Barclays Capital.

The firm maintained its "Overweight" rating and $18 price target on AMTD, suggesting essentially zero upside to the stock's Thursday closing price of $17.72.

A Barclays analyst said brokerage data was "…softer than expected for the month, but client asset balances moved higher. Trading activity (DARTs) was down 8.7% sequentially, client assets moved higher by 2.6% during the month (presumably helped the increase in the market), and IDA balances finished 1.8% higher for August. We believe that while many of macro headwinds remain in place, we could see some improvement in Sept volumes given the release of some pent-up trading activity from a vacation-impacted August."

TD Ameritrade shares were mostly flat in premarket trading Friday.

The Bottom Line
Shares of TD Ameritrade ( AMTD ) have a 1.35% dividend yield, based on last night's closing stock price of $17.72. The stock has technical support in the $15-$16 price area. If the shares can firm up, we see overhead resistance around the $19-$20 price levels.

TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. ( AMTD ) is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com DARS™ Rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars.
