Medibank – Entering A Value Range

Our Algo Engine generated a buy signal in MPL on Friday.

With the share price retracing from a $3.39 high, (formed in February), to close at $2.89, we now draw your attention to MPL as it enters our value range.

MPL’s earnings report last month showed the company is struggling to grow revenue and bottom line profit, therefore 2019 will likely show flat to no growth.

However, with the stock on a 4.4% yield and adding a covered call option, 10 – 12% annualized cash flow can be generated without too much downside risk.

Look to accumulate within the $2.80 – $2.90 range.

BBOZ – Profiting From A Falling Market

The XJO has now sold off 4% in the last 7 days and the index is back at the same level it was in June.

BBOZ is an inverse ETF with a 2x leverage, therefore, in approximate numbers, BBOZ has increased 8% over the same period.

BBOZ allows investors to hedge a portfolio of ASX 200 stocks in one ASX listed transaction.

Keep CIMIC On The Radar

CIMIC was a stand out  during the recent earnings season with growth coming in well above market consensus, supported by large infrastructure spending.

We expect 2 – 3 years of above trend growth in CIMIC and see the current weakness as an opportunity to accumulate the stock.

Our buy range is $48.50 to $47.50.

Also keep an eye on any weakness in the share price of Downer EDI, as a buy on the dip opportunity.

BHP Picks Up 6.1% Of SolGold

In a move to diversify its asset base, mining giant BHP has agreed to pay around $50 million for a 6.1% stake in SolGold, which operates a copper-gold project in the mineral-rich Cascacbel region of Ecuador.

Interestingly, one of BHP’s partners in the SolGold project will be Newcrest mining, which owns 14.5% of the mine and is the majority operator.

We take notice of the foresight of this purchase, along with other asset acquisitions by domestic mining names against the backdrop of falling raw materials and mineral prices.

We see solid chart support for BHP in the $30.60 area.

Crown – Buy On A Pullback

Should Crown retrace back to $13.50 – $13.75, we consider the entry range as good medium term value.

Crown next goes ex-div on 20th March 2019, so adding a covered call into December will help drive additional cash flow, whilst waiting for the next round of dividends.
