ASH trade ideas
ASH Commences New UptrendAshley Services Group has begun a new uptrend. This is marked by the breakout on significant volume of the 200EMA (daily). The price has consolidated since the break for a number of weeks. The exit for this position is set at two days trading below the 200EMA, or one day if the move is a significant break. My entry at 18c is limited by 9% downside to the 200EMA.
This is a long term momentum-based position. There is no target price for this position - it has unlimited upside and downside limited to 15% - both based on crossing the 200EMA.
From a fundamental point of view the company has recently shown some strong evidence that it has successfully turned itself around from recent losses. Continual improvement in earnings is likely to fuel growth over the medium-term. The company is currently trading on a trailing P/EBITDA ratio of around 4.5, which is by no means demanding.
