Thoughts on picking up a handful of these at discount today? Or more blood ahead? Cheers
according to the fool a broker in hong kong has downgraded a2 to sell
Why are a2 Milk’s shares on the decline again?
Today’s decline appears to be related to a broker note out of Hong Kong investment bank CLSA.
According to the note, the broker has downgraded the company’s shares to a sell rating on the back of concerns over daigou pricing.
Unsurprisingly, this has also weighed heavily on the performance of fellow infant formula company Bellamy’s Australia Ltd (ASX: BAL). Its shares are down almost 5% at the time of writing.
Should you buy the dip?
While a broker downgrade to a sell rating will always shake the confidence of investors, especially when it trades on such a high valuation, I do think that when the dust settles it could be worth considering an investment.
But I would only recommend making one if you are willing to invest for the long-term. In the short term the company’s shares are likely to remain quite volatile due to the bulls and the bears battling it out for control. But in the long-term, I can see its shares climbing notably higher from here as it expands internationally and gains more market share in China.
Investors might want to consider buying half the total shares they want own in the coming weeks, before picking up the rest after its full-year results later this year.
Well that MSCI business really did not go to plan, not that I am surprised. It wouldn't make any sense to the funds that have to buy in if it drove the price up significantly as it would likely trend back down and the funds would lose money....big boys don't like that. Exactly who was selling to who for the transactions to go through is a mystery as all after hours.
Questions now are:
1. Will it be less volatile with shares tied up in funds....going by today maybe not.
2. Will it fill the lower gap....who knows...it is a bug bear the shorters might be looking at.
Really need some good news to stabilise things but results not due for a while. Would like to see something from A2 on m bovis, are any farms infected and also an update on Fonterra deal....mainly around whether any new milk supply or is that more a synlait update.
Long term still good provided supply not hampered by bovis and no. of a2 farms
I see Snoopy's target is still in there ....but don't laugh because he might get the last laugh
All still on the high side ...but median looking more realistic bearing in mind it is target so should be 10%-15% less at this point in time
So under $10 looks about right ....just shows you outrageous the $13/$14 prices were
