Home Depot looking strong prior to earnings release
Home Depot, Inc. (The) (symbol ‘HD’) shares made around 13% in profits since the beginning of Q4 2022. The share price made a very strong bullish run and then entered a slightly bearish trading channel. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending January 2023 is set to be released on Tuesday 21st of February, before market open. The consensus EPS for Q1 is $3,26 compared to Q1 2022’s $3,21.
‘Home Depot looks “healthy” financial-wise with a dividend yield of 2.40% and a payout ratio of 44,30% this shows that the company is giving out a relatively good amount of dividends to its investors while retaining most of its earnings to reinvest in the company to maximize growth, The current ratio of the company is over 100% which means that they are in the financial position to repay the short term-liabilities should the need arise.’ said Antreas Themistokleous at Exness.
Based on technical analysis the share price bounced on a major technical support which consists of the 38.2% of the daily Fibonacci retracement level and the bullish trendline which is valid since late October 2022.
If the following sessions close above the current level we might see the next level of resistance laying around the $325.50 area which is the 23.6% of the daily Fibonacci level. The fact that the 50 day moving average is trading well above the 100 day moving average and the Stochastic oscillator near the extreme oversold levels further support this possible continuation to the upside.
In the event that the price resumes the downward movement of the last week then the first point of support might be seen around $306 price area which consists of the lower band of the Bollinger bands, the 100 day moving average and the 50% of the Fibonacci.
