Mediclinic broke above resistance at 374p back on the 17th October 2019. The momentum did not continue as the shares have consolidated lower in recent days. The move higher today is an impressive once and this appears to have completed a bullish flag/pennant pattern. This is often considered a continuation pattern and therefore further upside is expected from here.

Elementis plc is a United Kingdom-based specialty chemicals company. The Company operates through two segments: Specialty Products and Chromium. The Specialty Products segment provides functional additives to the coatings, personal care and energy markets.
Market Cap: £895Million
The bearish momentum in Elementis appears to have slowed in recent weeks. It’s an early call, but I think a bottom pattern could be about to complete. The shares posted an impressive turnaround from the lows in yesterday's session to form a large hammer candle. A break of resistance at 167.9p should get things going on the upside. The medium-term target is up at 209p.

Market Cap: £660.9Million
Just Group has been in the process of forming a bottom pattern for the past couple of months. The break above resistance at 57.50p confirms the pattern and projects an upside move to 79.30p over the short to medium term. There is also an unfilled gap at 96.50p, which formed when the company posted disappointing results. I like the prospects of recovery from here.

The correction lower has been quite shallow, and the price now appears to have broken higher from a pennant pattern. This is considered a continuation pattern and therefore the expectation is for further upside in the short to medium term.

Market Cap: £5.8Billion
United Utilities has broken out of a bearish channel with an impulsive move higher. The correction lower in recent days has been limited and buyers appear to be emerging once again. A flag formation may be taking shape which would suggest a continuation higher over the short term. The ultimate target is for a move to 1065p, which is a previous high dating back to May 2017. It’s also a nice one for income investors with a dividend yield of 4.74%.

Market Cap: £5.68Billion
NMC Health appears to be forming a bottom pattern on the daily chart. A break above resistance at 3016p is required to complete the pattern, which as this stage is still in the ‘one to watch’ category. The completion of an inverse head and shoulders bottom pattern targets a move to 4325p over the short to medium term.

Greggs - Buying the dipBUY – GREGGS (GRG)
Greggs plc is a United Kingdom-based bakery food on-the-go retailer. The Company's products and services consist of a range of fresh bakery goods, sandwiches and drinks in its shop.
Fundamentals
The success story of Greggs is quite remarkable with the shares rising significantly over a 5-year period. The baker recently delivered an ‘exceptional trading performance’, total sales were up 14.7% and like-for-like sales were up 10.5%. The introduction of vegan sausage rolls has been a massive success and no doubt brought new customers to stores across the country. The recent decline looks like a decent opportunity to buy.
Best Broker Target Price: 2300p (UBS 28/08/2019)
Worst Broker Target Price: 1780p (Berenberg Bank 16/05/2019)
Technical Analysis
The long-term chart of Greggs shows a spectacular uptrend. The recent dips from the highs of 2496p has been uncharacteristic and could present a fantastic opportunity to buy. Corrections are normal for share prices and following this recent bout of profit taking the shares now look more attractive. The close above the 10EMA on the 28th August 2019 could be a signal of bullish momentum returning. A move back to the highs to reassert the long-term trend is expected.
Recommendation: Buy
Buy between 2000-2100p
Stop: 1895p
Target: 2495p

Fundamentals
The company boasts special relationships with both the US and Saudi Arabia. The company has provided support and equipment to the Saudi armed forces for several decades now. The Middle East is a very important revenue stream and the company is actively trying to diversify its client list. BAE has not cut its dividend for 20 years and continues to maintain a dividend yield in excess of 4%.
Best Broker Target Price: 690p (Deutsche Bank 15/07/2019)
Worst Broker Target Price: 530p (JP Morgan Cazenove 17/07/2019)
Technical Analysis
BAE Systems share price broke out of a large range in July 2019 to confirm a bottom pattern. The shares subsequently move higher towards a high of 570p. In recent weeks there has been evidence of profit taking as the shares have dipped back to the breakout level to confirm support. So far, the support level is holding, which we believe is an indication of fresh buying interest. Further upside is expected over the medium term.
Recommendation: Buy
Buy between 530-545p
Stop: 520p
Targets: 615p
