Kaixin Auto Holdings stock trades under the ticker KXIN & has recently shown great technical strength.
KXIN stock closed for trading at $8.15/share on 10/19/20 (+~294%).
In pre-market trading (6:30 am ET) they have dropped down to $6.55 (-~20%), making it worth eyeing them for a potential entry point for a short-term trade.
KXIN Stock Price: $8.15
10 Day Moving-Average: $2.07
50 Day Moving-Average: $0.91
200 Day Moving-Average: $0.72
RSI: 74
While their pre-market price is reflecting somewhat of a shakeout of yesterday’s steep climb, there may be an entry today or tomorrow that can lead to profitable trades once the dust settles.
KXIN stock does not have options, so trading the ordinary shares are the only way to go about this, making the timing of your entry more important, but with futures currently set higher (NASDAQ Futures are +0.64% as I write this), Kaixin Auto Holdings stock may catch the rest of the index’s momentum & continue to climb.
Janus Henderson Group PLC trades under the ticker of JHG, and offers opportunities for both short-term traders & long-term investors.
JHG stock closed for trading at $28.13 on 10/16/2020, after showing lots of technical strength in the month of October.
Let’s break down Janus Henderson Group PLC’s stock further.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG Stock Fundamentals Broken Down
JHG stock is a bit unlike most of the stocks I review on this section of the site, with a P/E (ttm) of 74, but it does sport a P/B of 1.16 & a Dividend Yield of 5.11%.
This Dividend looks relatively safe, as their Payout Ratio is 66.2%.
JHG’s Market Cap is $5.09B, and their Total Cash (mrq) is $1.73B.
While their Beta is 1.42, the stock itself has only been trading for a few years.
One of the most interesting things about JHG’s stock, is that their Debt/Equity (ttm) is only 8.53, which likely is why they have a 65.2% % Institutional Ownership.
Their Technical Rating is 166.2, which is also a great sign.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Technical Performance
Janus Henderson Group’s stock has had an impressive October performance.
JHG Stock Price: $28.13
10 Day Moving-Average: $26.76
50 Day Moving-Average: $21.74
200 Day Moving-Average: $20.98
RSI: 78
This strength is surely attractive to short & medium term traders, although it may be reason for longer-term investors to wait for a more attractive entry point.
JHG stock also has options, making it easier for traders to benefit from price movement in either direction.
Janus Henderson Group’s stock also outperforms most of its peers:
JHG Technical Rating: 166.2
Financials Sector Avg. Rating: 0.80
Capital Markets Industry Avg. Rating: 22.43
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Fundamentals Vs. The Financials Sector
JHG’s stock offers many advantages over their Financials Sector peers.
JHG’s P/B is almost 73% lower than the financials sector average, with a 13% above average Dividend Yield, supported by a Payout Ratio that is .93% less than the sector average.
JHG’s Debt/Equity (ttm) looks even more attractive when compared with the fianncials sector average.
JHG’s is ~95% less than the sector average, with a 40.2% higher than average % Institutional Ownership and an astounding 20,675% better than average Technical Rating.
There are a few things to be concerned about though for investors, including their P/E (ttm) that is 254.4% higher than the sector average for financials stocks & their 35% higher than average Beta.
Their Market Cap is almost 18% lower than average, which justifies their Total Cash (mrq) being ~86% below average.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Fundamentals Vs. The Capital Markets Industry Averages
Janus Henderson Group’s stock also looks very attractive when compared with the Capital Markets Industry average fundamentals.
JHG’s P/B is 82% lower than average, and their Payout Ratio is ~69% less than average.
JHG’s Debt/Equity (ttm) is 97% lower than their average Capital Markets Industry peer, contributing to their ~37% higher than average % Institutional Investors.
JHG’s Technical Rating is 641% better than average for their industry as well.
Many of the same troubles that they had vs. their sector peers are the same for their industry.
JHG’s P/E (ttm) is 139% higher than average for the Capital Markets Industry, and their Dividend Yield is ~16% lower than average.
JHG stock’s Market Cap is 32% less than average, and their Total Cash (mrq) is 79% less than average for the Capital Markets Industry.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Performance Vs. The S&P 500 & NASDAQ Indices
The historic data I referenced began tracking JHG’s performance on 5/30/2017.
One issue that investors may have is that since their inception, the stock itself has declined 6.5%.
However, when you factor in the dividends that investors would’ve collected, they have actually grown by 9.58%.
The S&P 500 has grown by 27.89% in that time period, excluding dividends collected.
JHG’s stock has also underperformed the NASDAQ in that time period, as the NASDAQ Index has grown 56.4%, excluding dividends.
To some investors this may be troubling, but the 5%+ yield should be able to win them over, using JHG as part of a balanced portfolio.
Janus Henderson Group PLC JHG’s Stock Credit Rating From Moody’s
Moody’s rates JHG’s credit as Baa2, a medium grade rating, meaning that JHG should be able to repay any and all short term debt relatively easily.
This is important, particularly in times like early 2020 where the market has been less forgiving to stocks with higher amounts of debt.
Combined with their Debt/Equity (mrq) this is a sign that investors like to see.
Tying It All Together
Janus Henderson Group’s stock has shown signals that appeal to both short & mid-term traders, as well as for longer term investors.
Their 5%+ Dividend Yield is especially attractive in times of economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, and their Debt/Equity (mrq) is also highly appealing.
JHG stock’s technical performance should appeal to traders as well.
Whether or not you’re looking for a short-term trade, or a long-term investment, Janus Henderson Group is certainly worth taking a deeper look.
Owens & Minor, Inc. stock trades under the ticker OMI, and closed for trading at $26.62 on 10/15/2020.
After having recently shown technical strength, OMI stock has some interesting trade opportunities, both in common stock, as well as options.
With the gap between Owens & Minor, Inc.’s stock price & 10 Day Moving-Average getting closer, the 11/20 expiration $25 puts may be worth picking up.
This is especially important, given that we expect to see more volatility leading up to the election in a few weeks, and the $25 put’s Theta (time decay) is -0.0359, and their Vega (volatility:price sensitivity) is 0.0311.
From a OMI call options perspective, I would also be looking at the $25 strike price for 11/20 expiration calls. This way there is some cushion for the price to decline, and their Delta is 0.65, vs. the $22.50 call’s Delta of 0.78.
OMI Stock Price: $26.623
10 Day Moving-Average: $25.28
50 Day Moving-Average: $18.30
200 Day Moving-Average: $10.13
RSI: 70
For investors who are looking on a longer-term horizon, owning the common OMI shares is an option.
OMI is also a part of many ETFs, including XSVM (Invesco S&P SmallCap Value with Momentum ETF) , XHS (SPDR® S&P Health Care Services ETF) & CALF (Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows 100 ETF), which will provide OMI exposure, while reducing risk as other assets are also held in these funds.
Nautilus, Inc. stock trades under the ticker NLS, and closed for trading at $21.79 on 10/13/2020.
NLS has shown great strength since its price bottom in April, making it appealing for a trade opportunity.
NLS stock’s $22.50 call options are set to open in the money today based on yesterday’s post-market activity, with the next highest strike price level being $25 calls (looking at the 10/16 expiration).
Based on the prices of the put options, it seems that most traders see them going down in price before 10/16.
NLS Price: $21.79
10 Day Moving-Average:$19.64
50 Day Moving-Average: $15.06
200 Day Moving-Average: $7.69
RSI: 71
Given that the puts are priced at the same level, buying the $22.50 puts & calls for the same expiration may be the best course of action.
Weighting the holding to reflect your sentiment of their chart will help to protect you from losses, while maximizing gains.
Perhaps if you think NLS’s stock price will decline by Friday to under $22.50, buying a 2:1 ratio of puts:calls might make a safe way to trade on your belief, and vice versa for those who think Nautilus, Inc.’s stock price will rise.
Kirkland’s, Inc. stock trades under the ticker KIRK & has recently been showing strong technical strength.
KIRK stock closed at $11.80 on 10/13/20, after taking off from May 2020.
Their in-the-money call options are $10 calls (10/16 expiration), with $12.50 being the next higher level, requiring a 6% increase in price by Friday in order to finish in-the-money.
With an implied volatility of 128%, the $12.50 calls look more appealing to sell than to buy, whereas the $10 calls provide for some added cushion from market volatility.
The Delta of the KIRK $10 call option is 0.946, making it worth considering outright buying the shares for a trade instead.
KIRK Price: $11.80
10 Day Moving-Average: $9.38
50 Day Moving-Average: $8.21
200 Day Moving-Average: $3.20
RSI: 67
For a hedge on KIRK stock or call options, their $12.50 puts are in-the-money, and look much more appealing than their $10 out-of-the-money puts
With the gap between the 10 Day & 50 Day Moving-Averages narrowing & getting closer to the price/share, when buying Kirkland’s, Inc. stock or calls, I would make sure to be mindful of having a smart hedge on the table as well.
Seres Therapeutics, Inc. stock trades under the ticker MCRB & has recently shown technical strength.
MCRB stock is currently $31.80/share, and their calls at this level are at a $30 and a $35 strike price.
While the Delta of the in-the-money $30 call is already 0.72, I may be more inclined to buy this than the out-of-the-money $35 call, as it needs 10% growth in order to become in-the-money (using the 10/16 expiration date).
MCRB Stock Price: $31.80
10 Day Moving-Average: $29.09
50 Day Moving-Average: $23.48
200 Day Moving-Average: $8.85
RSI: 70
The other advantage of the MCRB $30 calls to the $35 calls is that their time decay will be slightly more forgiving; as the $30 call’s Theta is -0.083, and the $35 call’s Theta is -0.091.
The $30 strike price call option also has a more advantageous implied volatility, and although it is over 50%, selling the $35 call while owning the $30 call could be a good trade idea.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. stock trades under the ticker HVT.
HVT stock has many interesting opportunities based on their fundamentals from an investing standpoint, as well as their recently technical performance for a trade opportunity.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock Fundamentals Broken Down
HVT stock closed at $24.02 on 10/9/2020, with a PE (ttm) of 16.8 & a P/B of 1.71.
In addition to this, their 3.32% Dividend Yield is very attractive, and their 20.6% Payout Ratio sweetens the deal, as it shows safety & stability in their yield over the long-term.
Their Debt/Equity (ttm) is 79.3, which also is appealing in the eyes of a longer-term focused investor.
Haverty Furniture Companies is a small cap stock, with a Market Cap of $453.2M, which is also in part of why their Total Cash (mrq) is $157.8M.
Despite this, they have 95% % Institutional Investors, which is higher than many of the other small cap stocks we have covered on this site.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock Technical Performance
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. stock has also performed very well in the past year from a technicals perspective.
Looking at their one year chart:
HVT Price: $24.02
10 Day Moving-Average: $22.15
50 Day Moving-Average: $20.38
200 Day Moving-Average: $17.05
RSI: 73
Technical Rating: 171.44
HVT stock’s moving averages all show continued strength, and their Technical Rating is much higher than their sector & industry averages (77.8 & 131.6).
From a trading perspective, there may be many opportunities here as well, as the strength looks to be something that can be capitalized on in the short-term as well as the long-term.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock Fundamentals Compared To The Consumer Discretionary Sector Averages
HVT stock’s P/E (ttm) is 68.7% lower than the average for Consumer Discretionary sector stocks, and their P/B is almost 75% better than average.
HVT’d Dividend Yield is 36.6% higher than average, and despite their Payout Ratio being 57% higher than average, it is still low enough to be considered safe & sustainable.
HVT’s Market Cap is 62.5% less than average for the Consumer Discretionary sector, and their Total Cash is 88.5% lower than average.
However, their Debt/Equity (ttm) is 63.2% less than average, which contributes to the 61.3% higher than average % Institutional Ownership.
From a trading perspective, their Technical Rating is 120.4% better than average for the sector.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock Fundamentals Vs. The Specialty Retail Industry Averages
HVT stock also has strong fundamental advantages vs. the Specialty Retail sector stock averages.
HVT’s P/E (ttm) is 69.2% lower than average, and their P/B is 79.4% better than average.
HVT’s Dividend Yield is 46.3% better than the industry average, and they have a 38.8% higher than average % Institutional Ownership.
HVT’s Market Cap is 95.7% lower than industry average, and their Total Cash (mrq) is ~81% lower than average.
Their Debt/Equity (ttm) is 79.6% lower than average as well, but they still present a solid case for a long-term investment.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock Performance Vs. The S&P 500 & NASDAQ Indexes
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. stock has performed very strongly since their IPO on March 17th, 1980.
Their stock price has increased 3,190.4%, and when you factor in their Dividend Yield they’ve grown 5,116.4% in total.
In that time the S&P 500 has grown 3,330,3%, excluding dividends.
The NASDAQ has grown 8,189.7% in that same time period excluding dividends.
This solid historic performance makes them a prime candidate to be a conservative investment in a portfolio, looking to grow steadily, while also providing a dividend payment.
Tying It All Together
Overall, Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT Stock presents many interesting opportunities for short-term traders & long-term investors alike.
Their technical strength puts them in prime position to be looked at from a short-term trade perspective, especially when compared to their sector & industry peers.
Their long-term strength & growth, as well as the rest of their fundamentals are also very appealing to a long-term investor who is looking for a 3%+ yield stock as part of their portfolio.
JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. stock trades under the ticker JKS & has recently shown very strong technicals.
Closing at $54.96 on 10/8/2020 after a slight price pullback, there look to be opportunities trading JKS stock options.
In anticipation of more of a price pullback, the slightly in-the-money $55 puts look attractive, as the next lowest level is $50, which would require a ~7% drop to become in-the-money.
The $55 puts expiring on 10/16 have a delta of -.047, while the $60 put’s delta is -0.67 & the $65 put’s delta is -0.82.
For Calls, I would be looking out to the December 18 expiration, at either the $50 calls which are already in-the-money and or the $55 calls, as once they become in-the-money the stock should have some decent momentum for growth.
In this instance, I would buy them separately based on the charts, as the call option decay may be exaggerated by election uncertainty and volatility.
JKS Stock Price: $54.96
10 Day Moving-Average: $42.41
50 Day Moving-Average: $26.27
200 Day Moving-Average: $20.77
RSI: 92
The RSI of 92 is high, and should even itself out as JinkoSolar Holding Co LTD’s stock establishes a new trading range, at which time entering the call options outlined above would be beneficial.
I’ll be looking at the options outlined above in the coming days & weeks.
Pioneer Power Solutions Inc. stock trades under the ticker PPSI & closed for trading yesterday at $6.89.
After gapping up on 10/6/20 it has shown great technical strength, and is worth taking a closer look at.
PPSI has no options, so for a hedge, I would look at something similar to what I posted about yesterday for a NASDAQ hedge.
PPSI Price: $6.89
10 Day Moving-Average:$1.88
50 Day Moving-Average: $1.62
200 Day Moving-Average: $1.63
RSI:86
PPSI’s 50 Day Moving-Average is about to cross the 200 Day Moving-Average, so there should be more opportunities to take advantage of from a short-term trade perspective.
I’ll be eyeing an entry point today & tomorrow to see if there is a price level I like.
