SPLK

SPLK | Splunk & CiscoShares of Splunk were up 21.3% as of 1:10 p.m ET Thursday after the data analytics and observability specialist agreed to be acquired by Cisco Systems More specifically, on Thursday morning Splunk announced it has entered into a definitive agreement under which Cisco will acquire the company for $157 per share in cash a roughly 31% premium from Wednesday's closing price. The deal places an equity value on Splunk of approximately $28 billion. "We're excited to bring Cisco and Splunk together," said Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins in a statement. "Our combined capabilities will drive the next generation of AI-enabled security and observability." Splunk, for its part, was already up nearly 40% year to date leading into the announcement, helped by a post-earnings pop last month after the company delivered significantly stronger-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results. At the time, Splunk CEO Gary Steele highlighted his company's focus on accelerating innovation as a key beneficiary of the rise of artificial intelligence stocks. The acquisition has already been unanimously approved by both companies' boards of directors, but still requires the approval of regulators and Splunk shareholders. Assuming all goes as planned, the transaction should close by the end of the third quarter of calendar year 2024. Cisco believes the purchase should be cash-flow-positive and gross margin accretive in the first fiscal year post close, and accretive to nonGAAP earnings per share in the second year. Splunk stock is trading at a modest 7.7% discount to the agreed purchase price. So given the cash nature of the deal -- and unless waiting longer to sell might qualify you for long-term capital gains tax rates on your profits -- I think most Splunk shareholders would do well to take their money and put it to work in any number of other promising stocks. SPLK is super bullish because its passed 50 and 200 EMA and also it broke 109$ resistance as well, the volume and most indicators are bullish too

SPLK popped on earnings. Can it continue? SPLK had a very impressive beat on earnings and traders responded with buying pressure to push price up more than 15%. The question now is whether SPLK can sustain the new interest or will it fade or drop. My analysis is that best on the short term volume profile compared with the longer term is that there was a lot of trading at the top as new but late buyers competed with short sellers on price and so the price rise stalled. As a result I see price consolidated here and suspect that short sellers will push price down from here. I will have SPLK on watch for a stock short trade and put options as it is apparent that traders overreacted to the earnings beat. Price is still above the POC line on the stort term volume profile. Once it drops below, I will look for a short entry on the 3-15 minute time frames.

#SPLK: Catching up to the likes of $DDOGI'm long $SPLK here, for a good while in fact, but the long term signals in this chart only popped recently. There's big potential upside here, as the company transitions into a more cloud based business model. Daily chart had flashed a bottom signal which we collectively picked at the Key Hidden Levels chatroom, and I've been trading on the long side since. Weekly trends were in place, now daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly are bullish here. We can expect substantial upside into EOY/Q1 2022 in my opinion, in general in the market, and in this stock in particular. Highly recommend considering investing, if not already in. $301-320 is a great confluence area for a massive target long term. Moving below $138-118 would threaten the outlook, take that as your worst case risk for position sizing if trading it long term. Daily charts offer multiple trade setups where you can use tighter stops, taking in consideration the longer term view to filter the direction of your trades (in this case, long every long signal, maybe trail stops on the way up, or simply be ready to reenter after trade signals pan out, and new ones form over time, this has lower volatility, since you don't hold through drawdowns, and is better suited for more active traders but it is also challenging on its own as you need to monitor it frequently and be skilled at short term trading) If not, hodl as long as not below $118. Sell calls OTM out one month periodically. (bank the call short if prices make new highs after consolidating, very simply put) Cheers, Ivan Labrie.
