ELLKTOR’s Strategic Share Buyback: Boosting ConfidenceELLKTOR’s Strategic Share Buyback: Boosting Confidence in Long-Term Value
ELLKTOR has recently taken a decisive step to support its stock, highlighting transparency and reliability. On November 7, 2024, the company purchased 20,000 shares at €1.7222 each, for a total transaction of €34,443.24. This strategic move brings its total share buyback to 40,000 shares, accounting for 0.011% of its total share capital.
Demonstrating Confidence in Underlying Value
The decision underscores management’s belief that the stock is trading well below its intrinsic value, reinforcing ELLKTOR’s image as a company that understands its potential and invests in its growth. This action aims to inspire confidence among shareholders and the broader market.
Approval and Execution
This share buyback program was approved during the Annual General Meeting on June 22, 2023, and ratified by the Board of Directors on September 14, 2023. The transaction was executed through Optima Bank S.A., one of ELLKTOR’s trusted financial partners.
Valuation Insights
ELLKTOR’s assets reflect an attractive valuation of approximately €1.2 billion, suggesting a significant underestimation of its market price. The company boasts cash reserves of €700 million, providing a robust foundation for future growth and financial stability. Additionally, Elector, under the Vardinogiannis family’s control, is valued at €200 million, while concessions like Moreas, the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, Olympia Odos, and Aegean Motorways exceed €200 million in total value.
The company is set to receive €80 million from Attiki Odos, with another €80 million pending from the sale of Aktor. These inflows bolster ELLKTOR’s already solid financial position, emphasizing its substantial intrinsic value.
Stock Performance: A Potential Investment Opportunity
Despite these favorable indicators, ELLKTOR’s stock remains heavily discounted. This misalignment between its market price and true value presents an intriguing investment opportunity. The company’s strategic buyback demonstrates its confidence in future growth, signaling to investors that the current stock price may not reflect its genuine potential.
Shareholder Dynamics and Market Impact
A key reason for ELLKTOR’s exclusion from MSCI indices is the limited stock float due to significant shareholder concentration. Notably, Dutch company REGGEBORGH INVEST B.V. holds 48.155% (167,672,350 shares), MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. holds 26.882% (93,600,000 shares), and Atlas NV owns 9.798% (34,114,860 shares), leaving only 15.165% in the hands of smaller investors.
Even with its MSCI removal, these major shareholders continue to show strong strategic commitment. This backing could support future stock price movements, especially as market distortions eventually correct themselves.
Looking Ahead
With the release of nine-month financial results on the horizon, analysts and investors will gain a clearer picture of ELLKTOR’s financial performance and potential. The expectation is that the stock will begin to reflect its true value, drawing the investor attention it warrants.
ELLKTOR’s strategic buyback is more than just a corporate maneuver; it’s a testament to the company’s unwavering belief in its future and intrinsic value. As the market recalibrates to recognize these strengths, ELLKTOR stands poised for potential upward momentum, making it an intriguing option for value-focused investors.
What Cisco’s Technicals and Fundamentals Say Ahead of EarningsTech giant Cisco Systems NASDAQ:CSCO will report fiscal Q1 earnings next week at a time when its stock is up some 30% since August, but still below levels seen in both the 2021 and 2000 stock-market booms. What does the company’s technical and fundamental analysis look like heading into next Wednesday’s scheduled report date?
Let’s check it out:
Cisco’s Fundamental Analysis
CSCO -- which sells systems for networking, security and cloud services -- plans to report earnings after the bell next Wednesday (Nov. 13).
As I write this on Thursday afternoon (Nov. 7), analysts are expecting the company to post $0.87 in adjusted earnings per share on $13.75 billion of revenue.
That would represent a 2.2% decline from the $0.89 in adjusted EPS that CSCO reported in the year-ago period, as well as a 6% drop year over year in revenues.
The stock currently trades at 16x estimated forward earnings vs. the tech industry’s 28x average.
CSCO also currently pays stockholders $1.60 per share in annual dividends (a roughly 2.85% dividend yield). Short interest stands at 1.43% of the stock's total float, which is very low by market standards.
Meanwhile, Cisco generated $10.9 billion of operating cash flow and $10.21 billion of free cash flow in the 12 months ended July 27. Those look like fairly beefy numbers, and CSCO used $6.8 billion of that to repurchase common stock over the past 12 months, plus $6.4 billion to pay out dividends.
As for Cisco’s balance sheet, the company had $18.6 billion in cash as of July 27, along with $3.4 billion of inventories and $38.9 billion in current assets.
That measured up against $40.6 billion in current liabilities, excluding $11.4 billion in debt maturing within 12 months. Those numbers put the firm's current and quick ratios at 0.96 and 0.87, respectively.
Such ratios might not look so hot to many investors, but Cisco’s list of liabilities includes $16.3 billion in unearned revenue -- something Wall Street generally doesn’t view as a true financial obligation.
Once adjusted for unearned revenue, Cisco’s current and quick ratios improve to 1.58 and 1.46, which many would say isn’t bad at all.
In fact, of the 18 sell-side analysts I found that cover Cisco, 14 have raised their earnings estimates for next weeks’ results since the current quarter began.
Cisco’s Technical Analysis
Here’s Cisco’s daily chart going back a little more than a year:
Readers will see quite a lot going on here, such as a giant cup pattern that stretches September 2023 to the present time (the light-blue line in the chart above).
This cup hasn’t yet added a handle, which such patterns don’t always produce. But when they do, the stock's pivot point traditionally moves from the pattern’s left-side top to its right-side top.
Readers will also see that the cup pattern above displays a 100% Fibonacci retracement (denoted by the gray boxes above) of Cisco’s September 2023-to-August 2024 sell-off.
A Raff Regression model (the shaded red and blue fields to the chart’s right) also illustrates this retracement move.
The multiple orange ovals on the chart show areas where Cisco saw price gaps. Notably, the latest such gap from early November (denoted with the oval all the way to the chart’s right) has not yet filled.
That fact and the stock’s 100% Fibonacci retracement suggest a potentially imminent addition of a handle to Cisco’s cup pattern.
Additionally, readers will note that CSCO’s Relative Strength Index (the gray line at the chart’s top) borders on being technically overbought. That’s another sign of the stock forming a possible handle.
Lastly, Cisco’s daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence -- or “MACD,” denoted by the black and gold lines and blue bars at the chart’s bottom -- looks somewhat noncommittal.
CSCO’s 12-day Exponential Moving Average (or “EMA,” denoted with a black line above) is attempting to cross over its 26-day EMA, marked with a gold line. That’s typically a bullish technical indicator.
However, the histogram of Cisco’s 9-day EMA (the blue bars above) is currently neither in positive nor negative territory.
Add it all up and CSCO looks like it’s currently working with a $58 pivot point, which also happens to be the 100% Fibonacci retracement level.
Should the stock’s chart develop a handle from here, Cisco’s pivot would likely remain at $58 given that the cup pattern’s two sides are of equal height. But if CSCO rallies a bit more ahead of developing a handle, its pivot point would typically rise.
(Moomoo Markets Commentator Stephen “Sarge” Guilfoyle had no position in CSCO as of the time of writing this column.)

TRUMPDOWN- Ibex 35: Week of Declines after Trump's VictoryThe Ibex 35 faces a week of losses, registering an accumulated fall of 2.2%, influenced by the reelection of Donald Trump in the U.S. The prospect of new tariffs and restrictive trade policies have generated concern, especially for Spanish companies with international operations. At mid-session, the Spanish index fell 0.28% to 11,537.60 points, and then recovered to 11,586.80 points during the midday break.
Among the most affected stocks of the day were ArcelorMittal and BBVA, with declines of 2.72% and 2.59%, respectively. BBVA, in particular, faces uncertainty about how Trump's policies could influence its business in Mexico. In contrast, IAG and Grifols stand out positively, with increases of 5.82% and 5.77%, thanks to solid recent business results.
International Trends: Contrasts between Europe and the United States
The European context reflects investor caution, with declines in the region's main stock indexes. The German DAX and the EURO STOXX 50 are down 1.07%, while the French CAC 40 is down 1.01%. In contrast, the US indices, boosted by Trump's victory, show an opposite trend, reaching new highs on the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones. This optimism on Wall Street has been helped by the Federal Reserve's recent decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, in line with market expectations. At the end of the morning session, all indices are negative except the IBEX and the Portuguese PSI, a clear link between politics and indices.
Commodities and Currencies: Moderate Declines in Oil and Gold, with Euro Declining
The commodities market has a weak tone. Brent oil has fallen by 1.47% and gold has lost 0.56% to 2,690 dollars per ounce. In the currency market, the euro is down 0.22% against the dollar, trading at 1.0782 units. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has registered an increase of 1.71%, reaching 76,312 dollars.
This scenario shows a market divided between caution in Europe and optimism on Wall Street, where investors remain attentive to changes in U.S. trade policy and its impact on an uncertain economic environment.

TIA/USDT 4H Celestia is a project that has a lot of potential this Bullrun, we saw an early surge in the beginning of the year once the project was released nearly one year ago. A modular blockchain network, first of its kind is an exciting new technology and we've seen how well new projects do during their first Bullrun often outperforming their older rivals.
I would like to see the bullish pennant formation playing out now. The bearish downtrend breakout caused by a republican victory results in a breakout & retest of the BULLISH OB as new support. Now a bullish pennant has formed midway up the mini range, normally this is a continuation pattern and with the bullish narrative in play I think it's probable we see this pattern play out fully with the resulting rally hitting resistance around the $6 mark (BEARISH OB).
IF deciding to take the trade once the parameters are met a conservative 2.25R trade is in play , once the first TP is hit the larger SL can be moved to Break Even . I do believe that TIA continues to move beyond the $6 mark however there is a lot of resistance there for now. A separate trade outlook will be needed to tackle that area.
CADJPY at strong resistance in the Daily chartHistorical context: +60% up since 2020
The CAD/JPY pair has demonstrated a remarkable upward trajectory since March 2020, recording an impressive increase of over 60%. This surge can be partly attributed to Japan's prolonged monetary policy, which maintained negative interest rates while many other countries raised their rates to combat inflation following the pandemic.
Recently, the Bank of Japan signalled a significant shift in its monetary policy, indicating its intention to begin raising interest rates. This development has provided a boost to the Japanese Yen. The current pullback represents the sharpest decline observed since the onset of the uptrend in 2020, potentially signalling a change in market direction. This analysis will delve into the recent price action, loss of key support levels, and critical areas to monitor.
Technical Perspective: Key Indicators
Break Below the 200-Period Moving Average
The recent breach below the 200-period moving average signifies a weakening uptrend. This movement suggests a potential reversal in the prevailing direction, accompanied by increasing selling pressure. The 200-period moving average is often regarded as a critical threshold separating bull markets from bear markets, making a drop below this level particularly significant.
Accelerating Downward Movement
The decline observed between 10 July and 5 August marks the steepest drop in CAD/JPY since 2020. Most notably, this downturn has effectively engulfed all gains made by CAD/JPY over the previous 12 months. The acceleration of this downward movement underscores significant selling interest in the pair.
Fibonacci Analysis and Price Structure
Following the breakout of the SMA200 on the daily chart, the price has retraced to the 50% Fibonacci level of the recent downtrend. The 50% level is often viewed as a critical area of interest that can present opportunities aligned with the primary trend. The confluence of the 50% level with the 200-period moving average marks a pivotal point for sellers at this juncture.
Possible Sell Scenario
Given the breach of the 200-period moving average and the prevailing price structure indicating a potential reversal, a selling opportunity may arise if the pair continues to exhibit weakness.
A sell signal could be triggered if the price breaks below the uptrend line on the daily chart (highlighted in black). Initial targets for this sell-off could include the 23.6% Fibonacci level at 105.7, with an extended target around the 103.00 region.
A stop loss should be established if the price demonstrates a clear breakout above the range defined by the 50% Fibonacci level and the SMA200 on the daily chart, situated around 111.20.
The CAD/JPY pair is beginning to exhibit signs of exhaustion following a prolonged uptrend. The breach below the 200-period moving average and the testing of Fibonacci levels suggest a potential period of correction or reversal ahead. Close monitoring of price action around the 108.229 and 110.258 levels will be crucial in validating any potential short entries.

NVIDIA joins the DowUS stock indices settled down a touch yesterday. The Dow ended unchanged. The mid-cap Russell 2000, which had soared on news of Trump’s win, pulled back a touch to close 0.4% lower. The S&P 500 added 0.7%, while the tech-heavy NASDAQ gained 1.5%. Volatility, as measured by the VIX, has fallen sharply, and is now back to levels last seen towards the end of August, not long after the yen carry-trade unwound. The majors were mixed in early trade this morning, but then turned lower. There is little in the way of significant economic data releases or earnings reports to influence market direction. It’s worth noting that NVIDIA is entering the Dow Jones Industrial Average, replacing Intel. This should give the index an extra jolt of volatility. Bear in mind that the Dow is a price-weighted index which means the higher the stock price, the greater the influence on the index. NVIDIA is trading at an all-time high just under $150. Intel trades around $26, having recently bounced off lows last seen in September 2010. NVIDIA will rank at the top of the bottom third of the index, while Intel was bottom. The inclusion of NVIDIA comes just ahead of its next earnings update on 20th November. Bond yields have softened, pulling back from highs last seen in July. Yesterday the Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points, as expected. Fed Chair Powell said he was ‘feeling good’ about the economy, although he did warn that the US was on an unsustainable path as far as fiscal policy is concerned. He also made it clear that he would complete his term as Chairman which runs until 2026. The President has no power to sack him. Markets are still predicting one more 25 basis point rate cut in 2024, but the probabilities are swinging about a bit. As usual, the Fed will remain data-dependent when it comes to rate decisions, although Powell maintains that current monetary policy remains restrictive. No doubt he’s thinking of all those real estate loans that will reset next year.
6/7/24 - $arlo - rich px 4 implied grow; wait for <$10 minimally6/7/24 - $vrockstar/private - NYSE:ARLO -
doing a review today of all IOT-related names given my small 1% (as of now) starter position in NYSE:IOT (go read that for some nuance on sizing). here's a small cap now and my thinking. for now... not worth owning. i need a much better entry. setting target at sub $10 to take a closer look if/when.
looks expensive w/ minimal cash gen (ex. stock comp) and between 2-3x sales seems okay generally for this IOT sector, but top line growth has had some severe hiccups, and expected growth is MSD-HSD at best (which might end turning out to be low). i like how the stock/ chart have performed well v the Q's over the last years, but this might just be a function of zip code (IOT) rising tide vs. actual bottoms up fundamentals. it's one i've got on my radar but need to get a better entry.
Japan’s consumer spending slips, yen extends gainsThe Japanese yen has posted gains on Friday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 152.38, down 0.36% on the day. The yen has taken traders on a roller-coaster ride this week, plunging 2% on Wednesday and rebounding on Thursday with a 1.1% gain.
Japan’s household spending fell by 1.1% y/y in September, following a 1.9% drop in August. This was better than the market estimate of -2.1%. Household spending has declined in 10 of the past 12 months, as consumer confidence fell in October and inflation is relatively high. On a monthly basis, household spending decreased 1.3%, after a strong 2% gain in August. This beat the market estimate of 0.7%.
The weak yen is also weighing on consumers, who are being squeezed as their purchasing power has fallen. The yen fell to three-month lows this week against the dollar and if the downswing continues, the Bank of Japan will be under pressure to respond with a rate hike.
Although consumers are holding tight on the purse strings, wages have been rising and the BoJ is hopeful that will translate into increased consumer spending and demand-driven inflation. Consumer spending makes up more than half of the economy and BoJ is unlikely to make further rate hikes until it sees stronger consumer spending. The markets don’t expect a rate hike until early 2025.
The Federal Reserve didn’t surprise anyone with a 25-basis point rate cut on Wednesday. This is the second cut in the easing cycle after an oversized 50-bp chop in September. The vote was unanimous and unlike the Bank of Japan, the Fed has been transparent and telegraphed its plan to cut rates ahead of the meeting. The Fed is expected to continue cutting rates in the coming meeting and will be keeping a close eye on inflation and employment reports.
USD/JPY faces resistance at 153.44 and 154.17
152.16 and 151.43 are the next support levels
BTC USD IdeaBig Question, Should i Short BTCUSD Now? I have My Stop under 74463.96, this is for me price whats saying bullback is getting started, reasons would be that we are unable to push price higher in morning sessions, while ny session has not started yet, we dont have any bias as of now, thats what we call inside day when we are stuck behind yesterdays candle. Although volume indicators are deep back in range low after 66.783 price tag, these are technical indications. As of FA with elections and dollar news we could do massive moves still, We need to know that fundamentals beat any TA by far. So for me i don t close trade , i don t worry i just keep my stop tragged behind past day low and let it stop me out or keep going im not worried, i will not quess and short now nothing. We have not even lost yesterdays low, so why take a risk? If we get back in range and start breaking low of 66783 then ill look next plan. Intersting times to see what market makers will do! ill keep you posted.

Trump Won, Markets Respond, Is the Risk On? Hey There,
What a year it's been, with a slight glimpse of certainty now that the election is done and we have a much clearer idea of what to expect moving forward into 2025.
In today's session we discuss the possibility of a "Risk On" Environment and how we should navigate the market from this perspective.
Gold continues to nurse steep losses from its prior session following Trump's presidential victory.
The recent drop in Gold can also be attributed to profit-taking, having moved to record highs running up to the elections. However, despite recent losses, Gold still retains the bulk of it’s gains from the past month.
With the presidential election over, it also opens the door to a lot more clarity and reduces the level of uncertainty for the global financial markets, triggering a “Risk On” rally across the board, while pressuring safe haven assets like gold.
Bitcoin closed and steadied near peak highs on Thursday, as a trump victory sparked sharp gains in crypo’s on the prospect of friendlier crypo regulations. This endorsement by the trump administration potentially gives instruments like Bitcoin more credibility as an investment vehicle
MANTAUSDT on the Verge: Will Key Support Hold or Break?Yello, Paradisers! Are you ready for a potential breakout that could shake up the market? Let’s dive into what’s unfolding with #MANTAUSDT and how it could impact your next trading move.
💎Currently, #MANTAUSDT is tracking a descending channel pattern, positioning itself near a potential breakout zone that could fuel a strong upward surge. Right now, #MANTA is testing a critical support level at $0.698. If the price holds this momentum, there’s a high probability we’ll see a bullish push, potentially breaking above the descending resistance.
💎But what if momentum falters? If #MANTA loses strength at the key support of **$0.698** and drops below, this would signal weakening bullish power, opening up room for sellers to step in. In this scenario, keep an eye on the lower demand zone at $0.614 a level that has historically held strong for buyers. A rebound from here could sustain the bullish outlook, but if #MANTA falls below $0.614, it could invalidate this setup and lead to a deeper decline, marking a potential shift toward bearish sentiment.
Stay sharp, stay strategic, and always keep the bigger picture in mind.

Revenue and Earnings:
The company has shown steady revenue growth, supported by new product launches and expanding market share. However, earnings can be volatile due to pricing pressures in the U.S. generics market and regulatory changes.

Strides Pharma invests significantly in research and development, focusing on niche and complex generics that offer competitive advantages and higher margins. This focus positions the company well for future growth in both established and emerging markets.
Financial Health:

Conclusion:
Technical Outlook: Strides Pharma is showing a bullish setup with a completed double bottom and a current bullish flag pattern. A breakout from the flag could lead to targets at ₹1,600 and potentially ₹1,725 if the momentum continues.
Fundamental Outlook: The company has solid fundamentals, supported by its strategic focus on complex generics and a growing product pipeline. While revenue growth is steady, investors should be aware of market-specific risks such as regulatory challenges.
