#CAC40 #SP500 The Oil & Gas sector is again looking fairly vibrant and as a result, we’ve opted to run the numbers against #Petrofac, a pretty large company who describe themselves as a Leading International service provider to the energy industry. A glance at their website reveals a fairly intimidating range of activities, giving a quite firm impression if the oil sectors are doing well, so shall Petrofac.
This being the case, the share price (presently around 135p) looks poised to produce something useful. It’s worth remembering this share was trading around 400p, prior to the Covid-19 crash and thankfully, reversals failed to breach the critical (according to our calculations) 90p level. Repeated attempts managed to produce a low of 90.9p and now, according to the chart since 2013, a degree of optimism is possible.
Above just 140p should prove interesting, working out as capable of triggering some price recovery to an initial 161p. Our secondary calculation proves more promising, coming in with an ambition (if our initial target is bettered) at a longer term 190p. This secondary target is pretty important, hopefully able to allow the share price to close a session above 182p. Such an event is liable to prove game changing for the future, essentially allowing the share price to react against the dreadful downtrend since 2013, ideally provoking a strong recovery cycle.
Currently, what’s of some special interest is the sheer number of major “oilers” being rated as Strong Buy by the usual suspects in the marketplace. We’re being a little cautious with this one in allocating a trigger level 5p above the current price level but, according to our software, we should look favourably on this share should it find sufficient excuse to trade above our 140p trigger. As for the “Really Big Picture”, if the price manages to close above 182p, we should apparently anticipate a cycle where a virtual challenge to pre-pandemic levels calculates as possible. Apparently, if it ever manages to trade above 376p, we shall need give the tea leaves a long hard look.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
