Altium is under Algo Engine buy conditions and is a current holding in our ASX 100 model portfolio.

We recommend accumulating ALU at $32 following the recent price retracement.

Buy $32

Altium switched from sell to buy conditions in July 2018 at $21 and more recently we had an Algo Engine buy condition again in May at $31.00.

ALU is a strong momentum play and the stock is now up 10% in the past 4 weeks. We continue to hold ALU and will look to take profit once the short-term indicators turn negative.

Altium is under current Algo Engine buy conditions and the positive price momentum and recent inclusion into the ASX 100 index, has us digging a little deeper into the fundamentals.

The stock trades at a lofty PE valuation of 56x forward earnings. However, the company has a strong track record of above average EPS growth. FY20 the market is looking for EPS to increase 20% from $0.41 to $0.50 cents per share. FY20 revenue is forecast to jump from $175m to $215m .

The stock currently trades on a  dividend yield of 1%.

We’re comfortable to view this as a momentum play and remain long the stock whilst it trades above our $29 stop loss.

Altium is now under Algo Engine buy conditions.
