GOODRICKE GROUP -- flag pattern

Attached chart of goodricke group shows a flag pattern breakout. Line chart (which is obtained by only considering closing price without considering high or low) has been shown to reduce the effects of whipsaws.

While a lot of tea stocks have run up strongly this one looks like it is in a beginning phase of upmove which should last a few months or more.

Company is a debt free company with high dividend payout. While currently the ttm PE might look optically expensive, with sustained uptrend in tea prices, this company can vastly improve its performance going forward.

Risk reward looks attractive looking at the techno funda picture.

Since chart is a monthly chart, pattern will take a long time to play out.

disc: bought a small position to keep track of the stock.


Here is the chart of Goodricke. From June 2012 the charts are showing higher tops and higher bottoms which is a bullish sign. After breaking the double top of 138 in June the stock has touched 170 making a new high.The stock is trading higher than its 50 DMA at 145 and 200 DMA at 139. Good price to buy around 150-160 levels. Buy small quantities and keep adding on dips.

Price objective for the stock is 248. As close as told by Hitesh.

Here is the chart:

Goodricke is one of the rare MNC owned tea companies still operating in India n doing quite well. Even on fundamental basis it would be one of the better performing cos. can anybody post ten fundamental Analysis of the co. How is Ulfa n Bodo extremists problem ? Recently Bodo militants killed one of the promising. N fast growing indigenous Muslim tea plant owner . Wonder how is Goodricke tackling this problem?

Goodricke seems to have made a bottom at around 149-150 and given a strong upmove with the stock up about 7-8% at 165.

Would love to have hemant’s views based on his EW on goodricke long term charts and potential targets.

Hitesh bhai is wockhardts chart exhibiting a flag pattern? Thanks in advance

hi hitesh,

don’t have access to bloomberg at the moment. will have a look tomorrow and revert.

yes looks like a flag. support seems strong at 1505 levels. breakout point is a close past 1600 and target could be in the range of 2100.

goodricke

stock bottomed at 103 in dec-11 and was in a major wave 1 uptrend till apr-12 where it peaked at 154. what followed was an abc correction for major 2 which bottomed at 130 in oct-12. then we had intermediate wave 1 to 171 in nov-12. stock corrected from there to 150. this could either be first leg of correction for intermediate 2 or all of it. if its the first case the stock should find support around 145 to finish the final leg of correction. if its case 2 then the stock is in initial stages of intermediate 3 of major 3 which is very bullish and stock should breakout above 170 and touch new highs over the next 6 months. in either case, stock should bottom soon and start trending higher. in any case i would keep a stoploss of 130(bottom of major 2) for all investments. conservative targetsfor major wave 3 would be 221(where major 3 = 0.618x major 1) or 251 where major 1 = major 3.

thank you hemant for the prompt and precise reply

Hi Hemant,

The stock has breached 130 in the previous week. Technically, is it still a hold or all bets are off?

Disc: I hold Goodricke and have a view that tea stocks will start a rally sometime later this year or early next year.

Roberto

Hi Hitesh,

Just want to know your views on tea, sugar & cotton stocks. We hadseen a sharp rally in these stocks during 2004-6.Based on your past experience, do you such a rally over a period of next 3 yrs? I agree we are seeing nothing but -ve new on sugar. But maybe this could be start of a new bullrun for sugar.

Roberto
