Chart of the Day: Gafisa

By -
After a horrible 2011, this Brazilian homebuilder has had a surprising start to the new year. Gafisa (GFA) was virtually left for dead as 2011 ended, but the market has probably gotten the biggest shock to see Gafisa rally big time.

Similar to the move in Brazilian wireless provider NII Holdings (NIHD), the chart below shows a much improved technical position from the start of the year.  Not only has the downtrend been broken, but the stock shows signs of breaking out to the upside. Looks like roughly a $1 higher at $7.5 will be the key resistance level.





With all the interest rate cuts in Brazil towards the end of 2011, it really shouldn't be a big surprise that Gafisa at the very least has regained momentum. Looks like much more room to run as well as the stock has only returned to mid November levels.

The 6% pull back today provides an opportune time to jump in. Apparently investors view the Brazilian housing market as related to the US housing market.

Occidental: Still Producing Too Much Oil

By -

Though oil continues plunging, the oil giants continue producing more. For Q4, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) had roughly flat production. The worst part is that OXY plans to grow production by 2% to 4% in 2016. The stock has held up somewhat strong, but the inability to turn off the spigot remains troubling.

ChargePoint: Low Quality Beat

By -

  ChargePoint beat FQ2'22 revenue estimates, but the losses are mounting. The company guided up FY22 numbers partly due to acquisitions. The stock still trades at an estimated 21x FY23 number leaving limited upside for the stock and reinforcing why venture funds sold 13.8 million shares. Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Aurora Cannabis: Deal Or No Deal

By -
Aurora Cannabis was left out of the major deal making in 2018. The cannabis company updated FQ2 guidance to revenues of $50 to $55 million with a continued focus on pure production growth. The stock is down as the market is becoming less impressed with commodity farming operations due to the prime Oregon example. The stock is below key resistance at $5.40 as medical cannabis patient totals failed to impress. As the end of 2018 came and went,   Aurora Cannabis   ( ACB ) was a notable absentee from the deal making in the cannabis market. Just about all of the other major Canadian cannabis players got large investments or signed up powerful partnerships, but the related stocks didn't generally maintain rallies following the deals. Based on the early legalization data in Canada and Oregon, the best option for Aurora Cannabis might actually be selling production capacity while the Canadian market remains hot.
