Mattel, the world's largest toy company in revenue, shows a strong performance for several trading sessions.
From a fundamental viewpoint, despite a high valuation, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters have regularly revised upward the earning per share estimates. Consequently, profitability is improving, showing a relatively good financial health of the company.
Technically, the share has a bullish configuration on all time scales. Prices are supported by increasing moving averages as shown by the 20-period, in weekly data, and enclose the stock in a dynamic upward trend.
Taking into account all these elements, investors could buy the stock at the current price. The target price is set above the USD 38 mid-term resistance. A stop loss will be fixed below the USD 34.75 short term support, threshold that would invalidate the strategy.
