UniFirst continues its bullish rally to test new highs.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the group is in a good financial situation. Sales are expected to rise by 7.6% on the current year. Analysts widely revised upward in recent times their earnings per share estimates, which is a reliable indicator reflecting the company is healthy.
Graphically, the security is up 23% since the 1st January. It seems able to continue this uptrend supported by moving averages and will soon test the USD 92.35 short-term resistance. We anticipate a crossing of this level, given the upward orientation of the stock in the medium and long term. Above USD 92.35, a buy signal will be given.
Exceeding the technical line at USD 92.35 in daily closing would point to ambitious upward targets. In this case, market participants could buy this stock with an initial target of USD 102. A stop loss must be placed below the effective entry point.
