Won Europe Today

On Friday,

  • It was a good day for European markets as most major indices consolidated their gains after reclaiming their
    respective 21-DMA. However, volumes were not encouraging. The distribution day count remained on the higher
    side. We recommend that investors remain cautious and book profits in extended names.
  • The Stoxx 600 gained more than 1% after it managed to close above its 21-DMA (on lower volume) on Thursday.
    The index was upgraded to a Confirmed Uptrend as it reclaimed the previous high. The majority of sectors closed
    in positive territory with Autos gaining more than 2%.
  • Among other major indices, France’s CAC and Germany’s DAX managed to close above their declining 21-DMA.
    However, price action remains choppy and does not inspire confidence. The U.K.’s FTSE 100 continues to trade
    below its 50-DMA.
  • Among the 17 indices that we track in Europe, only Norway closed in negative territory. The Netherlands was
    upgraded to a Confirmed Uptrend after it reclaimed its prior rally high.Actionable names in the Focus List include
    Alphawave IP Group (AWE.GB; AWE:LN), Soitec (SOI.FR; SOI:FP), Yougov (YOU.GB; YOU:LN), Halma
    (HLMA.GB; HLMA:LN), and Teleperformance (ROFR.FR; TEP:FP).

  • European markets closed in positive territory for the second consecutive session, recovering from Monday’s losses
    and boosted by strong earnings. We continue to recommend a selective approach to increasing risk. Focus on
    quality ideas emerging out of sound bases with RS line at or near new highs while reducing exposure to stocks
    breaking below key support levels.

Key points from this report:

 

  • CMG reported a good set of Q2 numbers after-market yesterday, beating estimates on both the top and bottom line. Q3 guidance was better than expected, too.
  • The stock appears poised to break out of a stage-two cup base on above average volume; accumulate if it does. Pivot point is $1,580.
  • Although we remain mindful of wider macroeconomic risks, including the spread of the Delta variant, we think CMG’s digital prowess, strong brand, and good trading momentum insulates it well.
