Sasol, weakJSE:SOL has been trading below a key MA since early July, it showed characteristics of a Stage 3 setup. A selloff was seen on the ex divi date, and some market participants were comfortable to assume that the selloff was due to ex divi, fair enough. The dividend has been paid now, JSE:SOL is now below a minor support level, it it continues with the downward movement, it may test R290/share
Master Drilling Interim ReportJSE:MDI came out with positive figures; 34% revenue growth, 57% EPS increase, and 19% cash increase from continuing operations. No interim dividend as per company's dividend policy.
Technically, the stock is on an uptrend, at an area of value. Potential buy area, R14.50/share.
MSM gap up on Walmart offerNYSE:WMT , through its subsidiary, has made a R62/share offer to buyout JSE:MSM shareholders. Great for current shareholders, the offer represents a 62% premium!
Historically, share prices rarely move beyond the offer price, unless the offer price is revised a higher price is offered. If you missed this train, askies. Not expecting the share price to drop, but it's risky to buy at this level, especially if there's no meat left on the bone.
SUI improving fundamentalsJSE:SUI interim results show improving fundamentals. The Group revenue grew by 37% and basic EPS up > 100% (94 cents), and the company declared a gross interim dividend of 88 cents.
Technically, the stock has been finding support in a rising MA, but kept short of breaking above R32/share. Hopefully these results will help push the price to a new 52 week high, which will be a buy signal.
Aspen upcoming earningsJSE:APN mini rally following a positive trading statement quickly fizzled. Aspen JSE:APN reporters that EPS will be between 32% - 37%. Audited results are coming this week, the numbers are expected to remain the same. The share is trading below key levels, the stock will need great numbers to push the price up, a promising setup is the price trading above R160/share. Otherwise, the downtrend in the stock will continue, especially if the price drops to R136/share.
MTN at an area of valueJSE:MTN is back at an area of value. The stock attempted to rally following the proposed JSE:TKG takeover, both stocks enjoyed a mini-rally. The rally ran out of steam last week, and now JSE:MTN is back at the support level. A catalyst is needed here to push the stock up, otherwise a potential breakdown may play out. No position.
Nasdaq at an area of valueNASDAQ:IXIC is at an area of interest, near a potential resistance level but also trading above a key MA. Friday close will be interesting, a solid close above this MA might bring a bull run. Failure to push up will bring us back to the boring "correction" environment. I'm rooting for the upside.
