Estée Lauder shares rise as sales beat estimates, margin view improves
Estée Lauder's performance exceeded expectations, and with an improved margin outlook, the stock price has risen.
With the news of strong performance and improved margin outlook, the current price of $84.27 is positioned in the middle range between the support level ($78.66) and the resistance level ($88.87). We will consider entering the position while checking for additional upside potential towards the resistance level, accompanied by a rebound with a trading volume of 1.45 times.
Based on the current price of $84.27, if the upward trend accompanied by trading volume continues and reaches the resistance level of $88.87, I will take profits. Conversely, if it falls below the support level of $78.66, indicating increased downward pressure, I will cut losses.
The technical indicators at the entry point show an RSI(14) of 50.5, a non-aligned moving average, a trading volume 1.45 times the 20-day average, and a recent 7-day volatility of -4.6%.
Based on the positive news of exceeding expectations and improved margin outlook, an attempt was made to enter the mid-range between the support level ($78.66) and the resistance level ($88.87). At that time, we noted the rebound accompanied by a trading volume of 1.45 times and anticipated an increase up to the vicinity of the resistance level. However, the actual result recorded a return of 16.3%, significantly surpassing the forecasted return of 4.5%, resulting in an OVERHIT designation. There was a failure to fully reflect the strong upward pressure that was exerted beyond the short-term resistance level, which was confirmed by the positive evaluations from analysts following the earnings announcement and the solid fundamentals revealed through the timely disclosure (Item 2.02).
In this trading phase, characterized by strong performance and increased trading volume, I will adopt a flexible profit-taking strategy starting from the next trade, rather than insisting solely on taking profits near the existing resistance level. This strategy will allow for the potential upside expansion when combined with the overall rising trend of the theme (rising, conversion rate 19.1%) and additional positive factors such as subsequent analyst reports.
