DCP trade ideas
Dis-Chem Pharmacies - Following ThroughI believe if you are publishing trade ideas or analysis, it has to be clear-cut and to the point. For me, helping clients understand that prices don't go up/down in a straight line is key. On this basis, I've started adding a 'potential price path' which in some cases show that a share may pull back before moving higher. DCP has followed our previously highlighted path, reaching the target, but continuing to act well, with potential for more upside...over time.
DCP Dis-Chem Pharmacies (DCP, 2137c) | The name continues to be a 'steady grinder' from our last buy call at 1715c, +24% (30 July). At current levels, the share is breaking to the upside of a bull flag technical formation while also breaking to the upside the base in place since 12 May 2020.
For fresh longs, buy on a close above 2135c
Stop: 1996c
Targets: 2405, 2612c
DCPPrice Action Positive - Second Wave, Up? | We continue to monitor the share price as it builds a short term technical bull flag pattern that would be triggered above a price of 2125c. Supporting the continued positive technical outlook is the price consolidation on it's 200-day moving average. At a fundamental level, the group's last set of results revealed that Revenue for the 6 months was higher by 8.1% while Headline Earnings Per Share for the same period improved by 16.2% for. Same stores sales at +1.5% for the period while wholesale revenue grew by 14.9% to R9.3bn. As mentioned, clearing 2125c or the downward trend line channel would trigger a buy with a stop-loss of 2005c and targets of 2255c and 2390c.
DCPDis-Chem Pharmacies (DCP, 2127c) | The name continues to be a 'steady grinder' from our last buy call at 1715c, +24% (30 July). At current levels, the share is in the latter stages of developing a bull flag technical formation while also attempting to break to the upside the base in place since 12 May 2020. The bull flag is around 55-60% complete which means we would see come consolidation in coming sessions however traders should monitor for a breach of the bull channel as a trigger that the next leg is about to commence. Also note the price attempting to find support on the second tier of the aforementioned multi-month base.
This chart forms part of a larger research note.
JSE:DCP DIS-CHEM Effort without ResponseDis-Chem has some effort (Buying volume, negative divergence on the Volume RSI) to get back above 2100. However, the price has been unable to break back to higher levels. A rejection of 2100 on volume points to lower levels and a possible retest of 1600 and could possibly even break this.
