Both ING and IVC remain on our watch list following recent Algo Engine buy signals.
We recommend investors continue to monitor these names, as they are now approaching oversold levels.
Our Algo Engine has alerted us to the higher low formation in ING. Looking at recent technical levels, it’s likely the stock price will find buying support within the $3.30 – $3.45 range.
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.
