SMDS - DS Smith - Buy

So if we look back at my chart from the 11th April you will SMDS paid off nicely for us hitting both targets.

Since then the company has moved into the FTSE 100 and has shown good growth over the last year. We have seen a small pull back to the 520 area after profits came in slightly lower than expected.

Technically the RSI & STOCH are shown oversold. Volume is steady at over 4m.

Looking at an entry above todays high. Stop at 500, TP 600.

This is just my opinion of the company and not a trade recommendation

it is true it has had a great run since 2009, anyone buying back then would have seen a 10 fold increase in their investment. I don't know much about the company, but thanks for posting this chart.

 

I would note that its operating margin is steady at about 6% average over the last 10 years but in the last three years it has managed to increase this to around 7-8% which is encouraging as demonstrates some pricing power.

 

I personally would not be buying now, I note the broker consensus has downgraded (although only slightly) and if it met FY18 PrTP target of £429.5mn then I'd say the price now is about right, with mcap at £5.5bn. Definitely something I'd look to buy a bit of in any market correction.

 

Appreciate your post on this, and any other insight into the co. you may have.

Nice analysis Rimmy, always good to get another point of view.

 

Price dropped on the open so it's now an invalid trade for me as I have a strict set of rules I use to enter a trade. Mostly based on technicals with a pinch of fundamentals. Looking at todays volume I would say it has found support but really I need to see a few more days of price action to really see where it is going. 

 

I do find you fundamental analysis interesting. I do a very basic scan through financial reports but nothing as in depth as yourself. I notice you use Sharepad as well. Great bit of kit.

saw that too, and wondered how you handled it. 

I think you have identified here a good co, but price seems to be about right (unless there are other acquisitions or other earnings-beating news I am not aware of.

 

Maybe have a look at SBRY, I think there could be a short term trade there :)

    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this? 
    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
