US Tax Reform To Lift TWE

With about 42% of its revenue and EBIT from the USA, TWE’s bottom line will get a boost from the pending reforms to the US tax code.

On the top line, TWE should be able to deduct interest payments on their USD dominated debt, which combined with accelerated depreciation, could boost NPAT by about 8%.

From a technical perspective, we see scope for a move higher on a break of the $16.30 resistance level. As such, we would look to take profits on long positions at or near the $16.50 area.

ALGO Buy Signal For Inghams Group

Our ALGO engine triggered a buy signal for Inghams Group at $3.42 into yesterday’s ASX close.

From a fundamental perspective, ING’s most recent 12-month earnings report showed the company made $59.1 million, which was 85% higher than the previous 12-month period.

The stock has traded as high as $3.90 on October 9th, and we expect to see good buying support in the $3.25 area for a move higher into Q1 2018.

ALGO Update: Stay Long Sydney Airport

Our ALGO engine triggered a buy signal in SYD on August 2nd at $6.85. Since then it’s traded as high as $7.60 and is currently in the $7.30 area.

We hold this stock in the model portfolio and feel the fundamentals of the business continue to point to higher prices.

Recent reports show that more than 43 million travellers will fly into Sydney this year. That’s almost double the 23 million per year when it was privatised in 2002.

We have a $8.25 price target on SYD and will look to write cover calls in that area to enhance portfolio returns.

Algo Update – Short AZJ

Our Algo Engine flagged the recent “lower high” structure in AZJ, and we’ve been highlighting the trade on the blog as one of our preferred shorts.

The stock is $0.40 lower today from last weeks $5.40 high.

Our concern with AZJ, relates to the unsustainable payout ratio.

The downside momentum looks to be increasing for a move to the early October lows near $4.75.

TCL Entitlement Offer

TCL is undertaking a 3 for 37 entitlement offer at $11.40 per share to raise $1.9b of new equity. The retail offer will close on 24th January.

The TCL share price has hit an all-time high today at $12.93.

And while the internal momentum indicators on the daily charts are approaching an overbought reading,  we expect prices to move higher and consider TCL a cornerstone holding in the model portfolio.

ALGO UPDATE: Stay Short Suncorp

Our ALGO engine triggered a sell signal in SUN on November 29th at $14.25.

After trading in a sideways pattern for over two weeks, the share price has moved lower and closed Friday’s session at $14.05.

The internal momentum indicators are pointing lower and a break of the $13.85 level will likely accelerate the technical down move into the $13.20 area.

With a PE ratio of 17 and a  price to earnings growth ratio of 1.69, we consider a fair value price just above $13.00.
