Macy's, American premier retailer, could breakout the USD 44.4 resistance in the short term.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the company is trading at a low level as shown by the ratio "enterprise value/revenue" at 0.78x. PER is moderate (estimated at 11.34x in 2014).
Graphically, the security is up 12% since the 1st January. It seems able to continue this uptrend supported by the 20-day moving average and will soon test the USD 44.4 mid-term resistance. We anticipate a crossing of this level, given the upward orientation of the stock in the medium and long term. Above USD 44.4, a buy signal will be given.
Exceeding the technical line at USD 44.4 would point to ambitious upward targets. In this case, market participants could buy this stock with an initial target of USD 47. A bearish trend would happen below the USD 43 pivot point and so this strategy would be invalidated.
