Posted on | by Leon Hinde

CSL is one of the best performing stocks within the ASX20, ASX50 and ASX100 model portfolios.

Since being added in May 2015 the share price is up 113% including dividends.

The recent retracement in the share price provides another opportunity for investors to add CSL to their portfolios.

Buy Healthcare Names: CSL, RMD & SHL

Posted on | by Leon Hinde

Our Algo Engine has triggered buy signals in Sonic Healthcare, Resmed and CSL over the past few trading sessions.

RMD has experienced its first sell-off since rallying from $10 last year to $16 only a few weeks ago.

The ALGO engine is now flagging the new “higher low” at $14 and we suggest buying a 1/2 size allocation here and then waiting to see if we get another ALGO signal to add to the position.

CSL provides good long-term fundamentals. The PE is still expensive, however, 10 – 20% EPS growth is attractive! Accumulate at $180

SHL looks to be good value at $23. We see resistance is $25, so look to sell call options to enhance the return.

Posted on | by Leon Hinde

Lendlease, ASX, CSL and Aristocrat are names that we covered in Monday’s Opportunities in Review webinar.

Again, we draw your attention to these high quality businesses that have seen a recent correction in their share price.

We believe these names are close to finding support and should be the focus of establishing entry conditions. Watch the short-term momentum indicators for a reversal higher.

CSL Shares Firm On Stronger Guidance

Posted on | by Todd | Leave a Comment on CSL Shares Firm On Stronger Guidance

Shares of CSL are 1% higher at $185.00 in early trade as the company announced stronger profit guidance for FY 2018.

The updated guidance has been lifted from the previous USD 1.55 to 1.6 billion range to  a USD 1.68 to 1.710 billion target.

Better than expected sales of several of their cornerstone pharmaceutical brands have supported this profit upgrade.

Despite trading near all-time highs, recent research notes have raised their medium-term price target to $190.00.

CSL is the best performing stock in our ASX Top 20 portfolio. It was first placed in the model on January 5th, 2015 at $90.00 and has gained over 105% since then.

Healthcare – Preferred Holdings

Posted on | by Leon Hinde | Leave a Comment on Healthcare – Preferred Holdings

CSL, SHL, RMD & RHC remain our preferred healthcare names.

Resmed is looking a little expensive and we’d like to repurchase on the next retracement.

Sonic Healthcare:  we expect 5 – 8% EPS growth and consider this a good buy/write addition to portfolios.

Ramsey Healthcare – Accumulate with $74 price target

CSL:  15 – 20% EPS growth remains attractive and adding a covered call option enhances the yield.

CSL – Outlook

Posted on | by Leon Hinde | Leave a Comment on CSL – Outlook

CSL’s FY17 NPAT guidance implies US$1.38b net profit after tax.

The company has purchased 1.4m shares during 2HFY17, of the $500 million share buy-back program.

With the stock price now trading 28x FY18 earnings, much of the good news is priced in.  FY18 revenue $7.2b, EBIT $2.2b, forecast net profit up 20% to $1.7b, EPS US$3.60, DPS US$1.75 places the stock on a forward yield of 1.8%.

We remain attracted CSL and look for the next Algo Engine buy signal to provide a discounted entry point.
