AGL – Income Generation

AGL Energy is a under Algo Engine buy conditions and is a current holding in our ASX 100 model portfolio.

AGL announced FY19 underlying NPAT of $1,040m and lowered FY20 guidance to be A$780-860m. The forecast is below already adjusted market estimates and we’ve seen the share price trade lower as a result.

With the stock at $19 there is value supported by a 5% dividend yield. This trade is an example where investors should look to add a covered call option to enhance the yield to 10% per annum.

XJO – The 5941 Level Is Technical Resistance

The XJO has formed a “lower high” pattern within the existing Algo Engine buy signal structure.

The market has rallied 6% from the recent buy signal but we’re now mindful of the recent break of the “higher low” structure, as circled on the chart below.

5941 is resistance for the XJO and whilst the market remains below this level, some caution is required.

Names that remain supported within today’s broad market sell off include, AGL, CTX, GPT, WES, SCG, TCL, HSO & WOW. We remain cautious on the banks and select resource names .

Algo Update – Buy AGL

Our Algo Engine generated a buy signal in AGL at $20.50.

With moderate earnings growth into FY19 and the regulators looking to intervene in retail electricity pricing, it is hard to see where the uplift in the share price will come from.

With the stock on a 5.5% forward yield and limited downside risk, we consider AGL a suitable buy-write opportunity for portfolios. Through adding a $22 call option we’re generating 10 – 12% annualised cash flow.
