CVR Partners's share follows a bearish trend which should continue in the coming sessions.
Surperformance ratings highlight the poor fundamental of the company. Even if the company benefits from a high profitability, net margin around 37% last year, margins are expected to decrease in the coming years. Sales should follow the same pace. Moreover, analysts have largely reduced their EPS estimates, by 22% for 2014 ones and 38% for 2015.
Technically, the stock is following a downtrend since the USD 21.75 resistance level stopped the price progression. Moving averages orientation on all time scales demonstrates the seller’s pressure. The correction movement should push down prices towards USD 15.83 (long-term support) in the coming sessions.
Therefore, investors could therefore open short positions on the current prices to aim at USD 15.83. However the position needs to be protected by a stop-loss order above the USD 17.87.
