THG Plc and running for the hills?

#Gold #SP500 We managed to waste everyone’s time with our review of THG last October. We’d identified a trigger level for a miracle recovery at 369p but alas, the best the share achieved was 362p with the price falling faster than the UK PM’s credibility since. We’ve had a few emails asking us to update our view and there are a few details now worthy of serious consideration.

With international lockdowns easing, along with a likelihood of reduced earnings for on-line organisations, the company didn’t impart confidence to the market by announcing profit margins for 2021 would be below expectations, along with a comment regarding 2022 being more challenging, when compared to the same period in 2021. While this is essentially confirming everyone knows what a bears toilet habits in the woods are, the market continues to be less than impressed.

However, the company also complain they’ve been the target of a “pretty aggressive short attack” and claim to have presented a dossier to the FCA, an organisation well known for protecting investors and ensuring share prices don’t suffer. Said no-one ever. But from our perspective, the share price now finds itself in a ridiculous position, one fraught with danger.

 

The Big Picture had a major problem at 248p. Our software cannot calculate an “ultimate bottom” below such a level and by November last year, the share price broke below. As a result, from a Big Picture perspective, we’re supposed to report the share is on track to minus 25p, obviously impossible and also unlikely given the brief period the company has been listed. But for a share which was trading above 8 quid last year, the fall from grace has been quite vile.

From an immediate perspective, below 118p risks a visit to 98p, perhaps a level from which a bounce can be hoped but it must be remembered we cannot now calculate a bottom.

 

If there’s going to be any kind of miracle, the share (presently trading around 130p) needs exceed 142p to ideally trigger some gains in the direction of an initial 159p. If bettered, we can calculate a surprisingly confident looking 179p as our secondary. At this level, things become quite strange as we can currently provide a third target level of 230p. This is also pretty close to the maximum drop target we’d previously wondered about and visually, there’s certainly an implication of a waiting glass ceiling, should such a target level make a guest appearance in the future.

We suspect this shall probably end up experiencing some sort of bounce before the 98p level appears.

SUCCESS above means both FAST & SLOW targets were met. ‘CESS means just the FAST target met and probably the next time it is exceeded, movement to the SLOW target shall commence.

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.
