The chart of Stobart is shown below in my normal format. The price is in candlestick format while the VectorVest valuation is shown by the green line study above the price. Earnings per share (EPS) is shown in the window below the price.
As can be seen the share is undervalued and over the past year has increased EPS significantly. The Growth Potential of Stobart (RV) is an indicator of long term share price appreciation. On a scale between 0 and 2 the RV is 1.72 which is excellent. The Growth to PE ratio (GPE) is on a level of 4.5 which indicates that the share is mispriced and undervalued. The share pays a dividend of over 4% and has an excellent record of paying and growing the yield.
Since being revalued by VectorVest in August 2017 the share has traded sideways and eagle eyed technical analysts should see the 5 wave “flag” pattern which looks to be complete soon.
Superimposed on the Stobart chart is the performance of the overall market as measured by the VectorVest Composite of the London market. This is an equally weighted index of all the 2165 shares that VectorVest follows on the LSE and AIM. The red and green triangles on the chart represent the signals from the most conservative VectorVest market timing model known as Confirmed Calls.
At VectorVest we believe that the most important thing to know is whether the market is moving up or down. Everything follows from that. As you can see Stobart starts to move when the overall market turns positive as shown by the green triangle on the chart.
Since the 17th November the overall market has been trending downwards as defined by the Confirmed Call market timing system and the advice on VectorVest has been to stand aside. That’s been excellent advice.
Should the overall market print a new BUY signal (green triangle) and the recommendation on the share change to BUY then the probability of a trending and bankable move upwards looks excellent.
Summary: Nothing to do at present until if and when the overall market records a new BUY signal. Consider the share if STOB.L breaks upwards through 3 pounds and prints a BUY recommendation.
