Insights: Bullish Mid-Cap Stocks
Attached is a chart book comprised of Int'l SMid value stocks which are exhibiting technically attractive trends.SCREEN PARAMETERS:
• Market Cap: $250mil - $5bil
• Dividend Yield > 2%
• Price/Book < 1.1
• Total Debt to Total Assets < 30%
• Technical: Trading above 200-day moving average
NOTABLE THEMES:
• Overweight Japan, Increase Exposure to Europe: Japan has decisively transitioned to a renewed uptrend, establishing itself as a leading market in the process. Buy pullbacks. A less technically “exploited†market, Europe is just beginning to break out from a YTD bottoming process, trailing Japan by several weeks. Add exposure.
• Overweight Financials: Financials continue to develop as leadership, both in developed and emerging markets.
• Energy is Bottoming: Widespread breakouts throughout global energy stocks preceded WTI and brent's in-progress breakouts. Opportunities still exist. From this week's screen, we like: Cardinal Energy (CJ-CA), Ensign Energy Services (ESI-CA), & Surge Energy (SGY-CA).
• Ag Stocks are Bottoming: In the large-cap realm, names like CF Industriies (CF), Mosaic (MOS), and Potash (POT) are breaking out from bottom patterns. In the small-cap universe, we like similar patterns in Gujarat State Fertilizers (500690-IN) and Nihon Nohyaku (4997-JP).
