Equals Group Plc, the Jeffrey Archer link…

#FTSE #DOW

A bunch of emails asking us to take a look at Equals Group automatically brought “First Among Equals” to mind, a book by ex-politician Jeffrey Archer. It was recently reported the No 10 Ethics Advisor had resigned. Why did no-one ask why an Ethics Advisor was needed in Downing St? In terms of entertainment, events tonight from Downing St easily provided more drama in a matter of minutes than Mr Archers overly respectful testimony to political misbehaviour.

 

For some reason, a few folk appear to believe something is happening with Equals Group, a company who develop payment platforms which allow clients to move and manage their money flow. In honesty, the website blurb is all very familiar, all the usual promises made, all the correct buzzwords emplaced. And then, you discover a few further details such as their 5 year agreement with Mastercard, their partnership with Citi Commercial Bank, even part of Bank of Englands Faster Payments Scheme.

Armed with this information and more, it becomes fairly clear Equals Group are rather more than a “look at us” contender in the payment platform field and instead, the AIM listed company deserve being taken quite seriously.

 

Their share price, trading around 87p at time of writing, enjoyed a +10% day on Tuesday, the price gapped from 80 to 83p at the market open and experiencing a high of 89p during the session. We can now calculate it needs exceed 92p to hopefully trigger further travel to an initial 92p, along with the chance of some slight hesitation. Things become a little less clear with closure above 102p, thanks to our secondary working out at 121p. Our reticence about this target level comes, due to an ability to calculate a longer term third target level at a future 147p, visually matching the all time highs experienced back in 2018.

It’s easy to believe positive news flow will be required to provoke such an impressive series of movements.

 

If everything intends go Boris Shaped, the share price needs below 67p as this risks serious trauma, an initial target of 57p probably being a footnote in history in a downhill charge to a painful 28p bottom eventually.

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.
